Garages and Changing Room/Tack Room

Summary

Garages Description: A row of three garages. They have a half pitch roof with stone tiles to east and west and a flat lead-lined section above. Garages 2 and 3 are purpose-built while garage 1 has been adapted from a former mess-room for estate workers on the ground floor of the lodge. They were probably built soon after 1921. West elevation:All three garages have timber frames with segmented wooden doors sliding on tracks that curve round to the inner side walls. Guttering to down pipe at lodge and to pipe in south-west corner angle with coal house. East elevation:Smaller coursed rubble than stable. The large earth-filled retaining wall/buttress to the rear was added in 1950. The guttering sags a little in the centre rear wall of the garages and then twists completely, spilling all the rainwater for 2 m just before it meets the downpipe at the south-east corner of the store by the coal house. This guttering also receives all the water from the east of the lodge and stable
