Building record 826/0/13 - Outbuilding at White Gates

{1} The late 19th century carriage house and stable block is a two storey brick built building of a single build. The handmade bricks are Flemish Garden Wall bonded with light coloured lime mortar. The rear, east facing façade and the adjoining south facing garden wall have at regular intervals rows of Foxleys' Patented Bricks which were perforated for fruit wires. At the time of the site visit large parts of the roof had been removed and replaced. The slate had been partially replaced. The northern glable wall was still original and showed white painted wooden rafters, facia boards and the decorative ends of the purlins.
The ground floor was divided into two uses, the carriage house at the northern end and the stable block with enough room for approx 3 horses and a tack/ grooms room to the south. A small room to the rear of the building may have been used a garden store. More internal detail and photos…
