Interior of courtyard: plinth, carried up as plain architraves around boarded doors with rectangular overlights; small-paned 2-light casements with plain architraves. Round entrance arch to south with impost blocks and keystone. Square stacks to side ranges with moulded cornices (possibly rebuilt). Rear range forms coach house, incorporating 4 pairs of large boarded doors with strap hinges. Continuous overhanging eaves supported by pierced curved cast-iron brackets on stone corbels; eaves arched over carriage entrance, with scalloped barge board and flanking paired brackets. East front of stable block altered in late C20 with inserted windows, inserted door with porch and loft windows raised to form dormers. Inserted dormers to courtyard and to rear too.
