SNN115646 - A Nineteenth Century Stables & Carriage House Range at Upton Mill

This report presents an illustrated and descriptive record of a late Victorian stables and carriage house range prior to its conversion to a domestic dwelling. The brick-built range with contemporary enclosed stable yard is situated within the curtilage of Upton Mill, Northampton. The former mill, presently a private house, is a Grade II Listed Building located on the south-western periphery of Northampton town. The range of stabling outbuildings was a part of a working farm throughout the 20th century, specialising in livestock grazing and, as such, underwent various alterations to adapt to the needs of a farm and family house. The buildings have been redundant as farm units for many years. The record follows on from a Historic Building Assessment, in which at least two major phases of alterations were identified, viz: the conversion of the carriage house to form extra stabling, and a suite of late 20th century renovation work throughout the range. The report places the building into its historic context and identifies the main phases of alterations. The illustrated record is comprised of digital photographs and scale drawings and plans. The criterion of the record is in accord with Historic England Level II.
