Coach house and stables with walls and railings, now dining room, gymnasium and flat. 1873-5, largely rebuilt c1902. By Thomas Winn. For Joseph Pickersgill. Coursed gritstone ground floor, timber-framed upper floor, red tiled roof, part restored (see below). 2 storeys, U-plan with part-domestic W range flanked by projecting N (stables) and S (coach-house/exercise area) wings. Vernacular Revival style. Fine detailing includes, to ground floor: stable doors with branched strap hinges and moulded raised lintel with flanking and top lights containing decorative coloured glass, in a shallow pointed arch of ashlar voussoirs. The arch repeated in windows and doors surrounding the stable yard, the 2 doorways and 3 windows to the ground floor, main range being very large, with wooden small-pane frames. First-floor: main range similar window to N wing. E gables of wings have a 3-light (left) and a single light (right) window above the moulded stone string, carved brackets below a cambered machicolated collar and tiled gablet. The yard is closed by a low wall with wrought-iron railing incorporating scrolled panels with Art Nouveau motifs, rusticated piers. Rear (west) facade: external stairs with distinctive wrought-iron panel, semicircular lobby, gables left and right; walls to rear yard with railings, ball finials to gate piers, timber panelled gates with strap hinges. INTERIOR: very fine tiling survives in the stables, also cast-iron stall divisions, stained-glass windows; the rear engine house and lobby also tiled and yard floor set with herringbone pattern cobbles and tiles. HISTORICAL NOTE: archives of the Leeds clock-makers Potts include a note that a Cambridge Quarter Clock with 4 illuminated dials and 5 bells was supplied c1901 for J Pickersgill, Bardon Hill, Weetwood Lane, Headingley. The structure possibly stood in the centre of the ridge, where tiles have been replaced. Joseph Pickersgill was described as a millionaire race-horse owner in his obituary, 1920.
