Description
Detached T-plan six-bay two-storey stable block, built c.1840, with single-storey lean-to bays to rear. No longer in use. Located in farmyard of Cangort Park and facing onto a partially cobbled yard. Hipped slate roof, half-hipped to projecting rear bay, with terracotta ridge tiles, cast-iron rainwater goods, louvred roof vents and yellow brick chimneystacks with saw-tooth cornices. Coursed rubble limestone walls with yellow brick dressings and blind Diocletian arches to first floor front elevation. Square-headed window openings with yellow brick surrounds, limestone sills and timber sash and cast-iron lattice pivot windows. Oculi set within Diocletian arches to upper floor.
Appraisal
Although in a derelict condition now, the stable block to Cangort Park is a fine addition to the complex of structures on the estate. The random coursed limestone walls have distinctive yellow brick dressings and tall brick chimneystacks with decorative brick cornices and, together with the Diocletian window openings and oculi, create an appealing composition.
