GV II

Stables, now 2 houses. Later 1840s. Red brick with stone dressings and steep hipped red tile roofs. Stable complex around 2 yards probably built when the former rectory was altered and became Hunsdonbury and the seat of the Calvert family in the 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 blocks and stone balls. A symmetrical 2 storeys coach house with 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 re-used. A handsome red brick stable complex in restrained Gothic style, retaining much of its original character. Part of a picturesque group with the East Lodge.
