SX5255 MERAFIELD ROAD 740-1/47/549 (West side (off)) 29/03/60 Plympton, Saltram Park Stable Block at Saltram House

GV II*

Stable block, coachman's cottage and coach house to large country house (qv). Mid C18, for the Parkers. Mellow red brick laid to Flemish bond; dry slate hipped roofs; brick stacks to coach house and coachman's cottage, and another stack to ancillary building; clock with octagonal bellcote with elliptical-arched arcade and finialed lead dome over moulded cornice set over entrance passage. PLAN: square courtyard with stabling on all sides plus E side doubled in depth for coach house on its outer side and the coachman's cottage to the N end of the adjoining stabling. Also there are buildings attached to the SE corner. EXTERIOR: single storey except for the coachman's cottage which has 1st floor partly in the roof space and coach house with squat 1st-floor windows set under the eaves. Principal entrance is central to the N side and has a triangular pediment with modillion cornices over a presumably re-used C17 moulded granite doorway with triple key block. Each 5-bay elevation within the courtyard has impost string to recessed elliptical arches, most with Diocletian fanlight over a planked doorway, the cottage has 3 round-arched windows to gabled dormers. Coach house is 7 bays with open elliptical arches to E side. INTERIOR: virtually complete where inspected with many original stalls to the stables, those to S side under plaster crossed barrel vaults springing from octagonal columns, those to W side with round-arched stall arcades with unfluted Roman Doric columns with entablature above the capitals. Those to N side have later cast-iron and boarded ramped stalls and with flanking loose boxes, all with brick floors. The room to the W side of the entrance passage has a plaster ceiling with a modillion cornice, the other room has a moulded cornice. This is an important stable block, particularly with the survival of so many original features of high architectural quality.
