SU 71 SE 6/294A STOUGTON Stansted Park The former stables and former service wing of Stansted House

(Formerly listed as The former stables and former service wing of Stansted House, STANSTED)

5.6.58

II The stables were built by James Wyatt in 1786 and were rebuilt by Thomas Hopper in 1840. They survived the fire of 1900. Two storeys. Seven windows. White brick. The end window bays project and have long and short quoins of Roman cement. Stringcourse, cornice and parapet with a pediment over the central window bay. Windows in moulded architrave surrounds with glazing bars intact. In the centre of the roof is a rather heavy tower of complicated design. It consists of groups of four columns at the angles with a recess between containing two columns, and a clock face above. Dentilled cornice over and parapet surmounted by a stepped pyramid with a weather vane over it. The building is flanked on each side by a carriage archway leading to the stable yard. These are round-headed arches flanked by twin columns with a cornice and parapet over. The yard is a long rectangular space between the stable building and the service wing of the house behind to the east. This also dates from 1786 and is a two-storey building of white brick. This originally had a tower similar to that on the stables, but this has been demolished.
