Buildings On North Side Of Courtyard North Of Higher Lee, Now Used As Garage And Store

The buildings on the north side of the courtyard north of Higher Lee, now used as a garage and store, are outbuildings that likely originally served as a coach house, stables, and cottage. They date from the early 18th century and are constructed of sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. The structure is two storeys high.

On the left side of the south wall, there is the gable of the garage, which was probably originally the coach house. This gable features pigeon holes below the apex and a blocked oval opening with a stone surround beneath them. Similar blocked openings can be found on the first floor. The gable is topped with a coping and kneelers.

The west wall has a wide opening with a concrete lintel. The short right-hand return wall includes a first-floor doorway that is accessed by a flight of external stone steps against the front wall of the adjoining part of the building. The south wall has a door with a chamfered surround and a window to its right that has glazing bars. To the right, there is one bay where the first-floor window has glazing bars and a rebated and ovolo-moulded surround, though the central mullion has been removed. On the ground floor, there is a rebated and chamfered cross window with glazing bars, and the lower part of the mullion has also been removed. To the left of this window is a door with a surround that features cyma moulding forming an ogee shape on the lintel. Inside, the room accessed through this door contains a stone fireplace.
