GV II
Riding school and stables. Dated 1871. Yellow brick with red brick dressings with slate roofs. Large riding school fronting open stable courtyard, itself with secondary side courts with cottages and store houses, all executed in finely detailed polychrome brickwork. Riding school of 1 large storey on plinth, with 8 offset buttresses on long side and moulded cornice, raised to a gable in centre, to hipped roof. Recessed and gabled wing to right with end stack. Gauged, polychrome, pointed arched windows in sunk and crenellated panels, 5 either side of central carriage doors with single window over. Interior: The projecting end bay, with its own entry via boarded doors in end elevation, was originally an observation gallery. Main building is one single space, the roof of timber reinforced by iron struts and wire restraints. The floor of chalk, the walls were originally wainscotted. Stable courtyard: Central 2 storey block, with central timber framed gable with finial/spirelet, this range of brick on outer face, and 2 projecting gabled store houses left and right, and with single storey flanking wings, projecting on inner face towards the riding school. The whole is united by continuous plinth and banded string courses picked out in red brick. The outer elevation with five panelled buttresses either side of main entrance with date 1871 on flanking buttresses with large iron ventilators in roof, with 2 storey gabled end blocks. The symmetry of the composition is upset somewhat by the irregular subsidiary courtyards on return wings, with single storey gabled range and cobbled courtyards, all at sometime domestic. Some stable fittings, and gas meters survive. Part of a complex including kennels, machine house, and, now lost, gas works.
