Description

The Flat to the north of Holywell Hall is a former coach house that has been converted into a garage and flat. It dates from the mid to late 18th century and has undergone some alterations. The building features a narrow front made of hand-made brick with dressed stone quoins, while the returns and rear are constructed from coursed rubble. It has a renewed pantiled roof with stone-flagged eaves and brick chimneys.

The structure is two storeys high and has three bays. There is a large 20th-century garage opening with double doors in the center and right bays. To the left of the garage doors, there is a 12-pane sash window, and above, three square 6-pane sashes, all with flush stone lintels and projecting sills. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with flagged eaves. Notably, there is a rendered external chimney on the right return and a central external chimney with a semicircular projection on the rear, which may have been a bread oven. The building is included for its group value. A 20th-century lean-to brick addition on the front of the left bay is not considered of interest.
