Trancated lateral stone stacks to pavilions. 3:3:3:3:3 bays, with central break and projecting pavilions at each end; C20 small-paned metal windows with stone cills and first-floor C20 small-paned 2-light metal casements to pavilions.

The stable block is sited on the axis of the principal approach to Cornbury House (q.v.) from the north-east and closes off the courtyard on that side of the house. The pavilion roofs have been altered, the coach house altered and porte-cochere added, probably in the early C20, possibly in 1901-6.
