Description

The outbuildings and attached wall to number 53 are former service rooms, a coach-house, and stables that originally served Spring Bank. These structures, now used as storerooms and workshops, date from the late 19th century. They are constructed from coursed rock-faced gritstone and ashlar, with Welsh slate roofs. The design reflects a Jacobethan style, matching the main house and lodge, which are now known as number 53 and Springbank Cottage.

The coach-house is a single-storey building with two bays, featuring a fine gabled entrance arch adorned with moulded voussoirs, board doors, and an elaborate wrought-iron scrolled overthrow. To the left, there is a two-light window, and the gable has copings. The service range steps down the hill in three stages and is one and a half storeys high, with deep chamfered door and window openings, gabled dormer windows, and tall ashlar stacks. The interior has not been inspected. An approximately 2-meter-high wall connects the coach-house to the lodge. This group of buildings was likely designed by the architects associated with Spring Bank, which include John Fox, C.R. Chorley, or William Thorp.
