Stable block, now partly an agricultural building. Circa 1685, restored and extended in the late C19. Red brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings. Hipped slate roof. Shallow H-plan with later ranges forming courtyard at rear. 2 storeys. East front: chamfered quoins, flat string course and moulded wooden eaves cornice. C19 brick ridge stacks off-centre to left and right and brick ridge stack to left-hand rear wing. Central octagonal wooden cupola (probably altered in the C19) with moulded cornice to base, fluted Greek Doric columns supporting moulded cornice, and low lead dome with weathervane (almost detached at time of survey.July 1986). 2:1:1:1:2 bays; wooden cross windows with stone cills and gauged-brick heads. Single-light windows in return of left-hand wing. Central quoined break rising above cornice to open triangular pediment with circular painted wooden clock in tympanum (hands missing at time of survey). Central first-floor circular panel with trompe-l'oeil window. Central round-arched carriageway with rusticated reveals, impost blocks and raised keystone with moulded top. Pair of probably C19 large 4 x 4 panelled wooden doors with wrought-iron strap hinges and large C19 wrought-iron lamp bracket above. Pair of blocked segmental-arched openings flanking entrance. Ground-floor window in second bay from left has been cut down in the late C19 to form a door. Return elevations with 3 first-floor and 2 ground-floor windows; 2-and 3-light mullioned and transomed casements. Interior not inspected. Three C19 ranges around courtyard at rear. 2 storeys. Dentil brick eaves cornice and verges. Gauged-brick elliptical-arched entrance in gabled break to north with impost bands and keystone,and pair of large panelled doors. Similar entrance to south with round archway and triangular pediment above. Shavington Hall was dated 1685. It stood to the south-west of the stable block and was demolished in 1959. It had been altered in 1885-6 by Richard Norman Shaw and again (internally) in 1903 by Ernest Newton. The late C19 restoration of the stable block and the additions might be the work of Shaw. The stable block still stands at the centre of a landscaped park with a number of lakes. Shavington Gardens are not included on this list.
