The Coach House And Adjoining Forecourt Walls

The Coach House and adjoining forecourt walls are a stable block and coach house, now functioning as a house, dating from around 1749 and restored in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features a hipped plain tile roof. It has two storeys and an attic, with a plinth, a plat band that has a raised top course, 20th-century boxed eaves, and integral brick end stacks.

The southeast front has a symmetrical arrangement of three bays, one bay, and three bays, with segmental-headed two-light wooden casements that were replaced in the 20th century, and cross windows on the ground floor. There is a doorway in the second bay from the right and a pair of elliptical-arched coach-house doorways to the left, each with large boarded doors that have strap hinges. A central gabled break features an oculus in the apex and an elliptical-arched carriageway with a raised brick keystone. The entrance is flanked by a pair of cast-iron gates with spearhead railings and red sandstone hinge blocks, and there is evidence of a former stone shield on the wall above the arch, indicated by disturbed brickwork.

The forecourt walls that flank the central entrance are made of red brick with stone coping. Each wall turns at 90 degrees with canted corners to form enclosures on the left and right. Square piers with pyramidal caps are present, with those flanking the entrance featuring 18th-century wrought-iron lamp standards. There is also a pair of boarded gates to the left, accompanied by flanking gate piers.

The rear of the building mirrors the front with a symmetrical arrangement of three bays, one bay, and three bays, again featuring segmental-headed two-light wooden casements replaced in the 20th century and cross windows on the ground floor. Boarded doors are located in the second and sixth bays, each with two-part segmental-headed overlights. The central gabled break and elliptical-arched carriageway with raised brick keystone are repeated here. This building was formerly the stable block and coach house to The Old Rectory, and both structures are situated within a moated site.
