Coquet House

Coquet House is a house with attached outbuildings, originally built in the early 18th century and remodeled around 1822. It is constructed of squared stone and features a Welsh slate roof, with one stack rebuilt in orange brick. The building has an irregular parallelogram shape, is two storeys high, and has three windows. The entrance, located left of centre, has a renewed panelled door with a five-pane overlight above it. The two windows to the left are renewed 12-pane sashes, while the right side has a blocked doorway and two similar windows, one of which has been inserted into a second blocked door. All ground-floor windows are topped with keyed supra-lintels. The large upper windows have timber lintels and hold paired 8-pane sashes. The gables are coped, and there are end stacks, with the left stack rebuilt on an old base.

The left return of the building features a four-pane attic casement and a one-bay early 19th-century wing that has been raised on a 18th-century outshut. The right return shows a boarded attic window and attached outbuildings to the right. The rear elevation includes a 12-pane sash stair window in the outshut and two similar windows in the gable end of the 19th-century wing on the right. The attached outbuilding range on the left has an inner return with a boarded door, boarded double doors under a timber lintel, a nine-pane casement, and a boarded door with a four-pane overlight.

Inside, the house features six-panel doors and panelled shutters throughout. There is an open-well stone stair, which was brought from Brandenburgh House in London around 1822, and it has a wrought-iron balustrade with an anthemion pattern, a wreathed and moulded handrail, and a curtail step. Early 19th-century cast-iron fireplaces are also present.

Historically, Coquet House is said to have been built for the Duke's fisherman. The early 19th-century remodeling may have been carried out by Mr. John Forster, who purchased fittings from Brandenburgh House to use in Warkworth House, which is now known as Warkworth House Hotel.
