Former Coach House 30 Metres North West Of Sockburn Hall

The former coach house and stables, now used as kennels, dates from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of dressed sandstone and features graduated stone-flagged roofs with an ashlar chimney stack. The building has an E-plan layout, consisting of a gabled central bay and projecting end wings, both of one storey plus attics, with single-storey linking bays in between. Designed in the Tudor style, it includes a central four-centred doorway with a shield above, a doorway in the left bay, and a Tudor-headed coach arch in the right bay. The left wing has a single-storey lean-to addition at the front, while the right wing has two boarded-over openings. The gables of the central bay and end wings feature shaped footstones and moulded copings. There are two- and three-light double-chamfered mullioned windows with leaded casements, and the central doorway is flanked by two-light windows, all beneath a continuous hoodmould. Each end wing has a single-light attic window, and there are gabled dormer loading bays in the inner returns of both wings. The roofs are steeply pitched, and the chimney has two conjoined stacks on the ridge behind the central bay. Later additions of sheds and a lean-to on the front of the left wing are not of special interest.
