Construction on the stables began in July 1824. The foundations were complete and most of the walls were plinth high on the 11 July (SMA 7/22/36). By August, 'the bricklayers have got all the walls to the stables and coach-houses level to the top of the floors over the stables' and the roof over the coach-houses was being framed (SMA 7/22/21).

The stables employ the 'primitive' aesthetic that Soane often used in utilitarian buildings, having a simple material and limited ornament while following the classical principles of proportion and design (see also du Prey, pp. 254-55). Large areas of unbroken brick walls are relieved by round-headed blind arches with the crowns glazed. The centre of the entrance front has a portico-like enclosure with three double-height round-headed arches.

Purney Sillitoe's coachman, Thomas Buckingham, lived with his wife Emily in the stables, as a 1851 census records (D. Jenkins, p.20).
