A late C18-early C19 coach house, which may be part of a range of buildings marked on an estate map of 1777.

Exterior

L-shaped block. Coursed rubble stone blocks with slate roof and gable coping. Symmetrical N front: on the upper floor, three 16-pane hornless sash windows, stone voussoired arches and slate sills. Below, three big segmental arches with stone voussoirs, those at either end have vertically boarded double-doors. Centre opening blocked by slightly recessed inner wall with inset boarded door with stone voussoired arch. W gable has slate cladding to upper wall with a stone end-stack. The S elevation is an irregular composition of two or more builds. On the upper floor (left to right): a 6-pane sash, a corbelled chimneystack, another 6-pane sash; then a 16-pane sash; below a 3-pane fixed light, a boarded door with 4-pane overlight, then another 6-pane sash. To the right again is the gable end of the E range with a 20-pane sash on the ground floor. The W side of the E range which faces the inner yard is built of more finely-worked coursed rubble stone blocks. Single-storey. Broad flat-headed coach entry to left (with folding doors); then a fixed C20 4-pane light; a boarded door; a 4-pane sash, another boarded door and finally another 4-pane sash to right. The N gable of the E range has an uncoursed rubble stone base, with brick in the upper gable. Access to loft via wooden stair; above plank door with cambered brick arch, upper wall has a circular ventilation opening (now blocked) and wrought iron weathervane.
