Old Coach House To Demolished Uffington House

The Old Coach House, originally built as stables around 1845 by Samuel Gray, is now a house. It features rock-faced ashlar stone with plain ashlar quoins and dressings, topped by a Bradstone slate roof. The building is a single storey plus attics and has a seven-bay front with a raised and slightly advanced central block that has a pediment. Architectural details include an ashlar plinth, cill and head bands, a moulded cornice, and dentillated eaves. The central entrance consists of six flush panelled double doors with a panelled overlight, accessed by three steps. This entrance is set within a shouldered ashlar architrave that has a stepped keyblock, all contained in a recessed semi-circular headed panel with a raised flush keyblock. On either side of the entrance are three 20th-century top hung glazing bar casements with ashlar reveals and plain tympana above the semi-circular heads, which feature keystones. Above the door, there is a circular glazing bar lunette framed in plain ashlar. At the rear, the advanced central bay has a wide segmental headed arch that is now filled with glazing, above which is a semi-circular headed window flanked by narrow glazing bar lights, all in a moulded stone surround with a rusticated arch and fluted keystones. To either side of this central bay are lower single storey ranges that contain double planked doors and semi-circular headed openings. The building has undergone alterations in the 20th century.
