Description
The Coach House is a building dating from 1907, designed by Richard Harding Watt as a coach house and servants' quarters for Aldwarden Hill. It is now used as a dwelling. The exterior is rendered over brick with a pantiled roof, constructed in an Edwardian Free style. The building is two-storied, with a partly enclosed staircase against the gable wall facing the street. This gable wall projects to form a timbered canopy. The north elevation has three segmentally-arched openings on the ground floor, with recessed doors and windows that were inserted during conversion to a dwelling. The first floor has an irregular line of windows placed immediately below overhanging eaves. A tower to the right is largely a screen wall with a stepped profile. A lean-to wing beyond likely represents a later addition related to its use as a dwelling. The interior was not inspected. It is one of a notable collection of buildings along Legh Road, commissioned by Richard Harding Watt, similar to The Old Croft.
