History

Stable block probably contemporary with the former vicarage which was constructed in 1826. Shown on the Northop tithe map of 1839.

Exterior

Two ranges at right angles bounding a courtyard. Main 2-storey range oriented E-W constructed of Flemish bond brickwork under a slate roof with cut-down chimney stack to N. The S (courtyard) side is whitened; on the upper floor is a small square boarded window to L and an oculus towards centre. Between the 2 is a small opening containing 3 dove holes. On ground floor, from L, double planked doors with flat brick head; small 2-light window; broad entrance with double planked doors under a concrete lintel, immediately R of which is a 2-light window under a segmental brick head. To the R, is a small 2-light window followed by a single stable door under a segmental brick head. The E gable end has a single boarded oculus. The N elevation, facing Church Road, is unpainted and has blind door and window openings imitating a 2-storey, 4 window house. Round arched doorway flanked by pairs of windows, which have flat-arched brick heads and brick sills. Shorter windows aligned above. The elevation has 5 small vents.

The W gable end adjoins a further lower range at right angles (the rear wing of the Old Police Station), also of brick with a slate roof. This has a narrow 4-pane window to the R and a wider opening to the L with brick lintel. To its R is an infilled dove hole. Timber ridge ventilator with weather vane to L, beyond which is an added bay with wide entrance and long timber lintel containing double planked doors.
