Notes

This drawing is for the western leg, 112 feet long, of the L-plan stables and has 16 stalls with living quarters and storage on the first floor. This 11-bay, two-storey building with segmental-arched entry and clock and weather vane in the centre corresponds to National Monuments Record photographs (1951) except for the clock, which is on the other stable building ([SM D1/1/20]). When the house was demolished in 1961, the stables were kept but lowered a storey and partly converted into staff flats and garages. Later alterations were made to turn them into six houses and little trace of Dance's original design remains.
