Description

This is an early 19th-century coach house, originally part of Oakland Nurseries in New High Town and now used as storage. It is constructed of squared stone with stone dressings and a graduated stone-tiled roof, topped with a stone chimney that has a brick addition. The building is two storeys high and has a gable front, with two bays extending to the rear. Tooled quoins are visible. A pair of boarded doors are set within a raised elliptical archway on the front gable end, and there is a four-pane casement window above the archway. A blocked ground-floor window is present on the left return. The roof is low-pitched, with a ridge stack on the rear. The building is included on the list for its group value.
