GV
II
Stables, now 2 houses. Later 1840s. Red brick with stone
dressings and steep hipped red tile roofs. Stable complex around

later 1840s. Now converted to 2 houses. Entrance is into theW
side of the S yard between in-curving brick walls with moulded
brick plinths and square terminal piers capped by sandstone

5 upper windows and central door forms the E side of this yard.
3-light casements with arched glazing bars, 2-light over 6-panel
flush beaded door. Double doors to coach houses below, sheltered
by a lean-to roof. Openings have flat brick arches with
intersecting joints at the centre. A lower range on the N side
has2 similar windows with pivoted lights each side of a central
passage to the N yard, surrounded by converted stable buildings
with similar windows and hipped roofs, stable doors and ovolo
moulded plinth. Cl9 cast iron pump against N wall of S yard has 2
rings on the barrel, a spurred spout and an acorn cap. Moulded
6-panel doors on upper floor of the coach house, apparently C18

style, retaining much of its original character. Part of a
picturesque group with the East Lodge.
