Description
The coach house, stables, and attached courtyard walls and gate piers, located immediately north-east of Hanch Hall, date from around 1700, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. The structure is built of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with plain tile roofs that feature stone coped verges on shaped kneelers and brick ridge stacks.
The entrance to the stable courtyard is on the north-west side and is flanked by a pair of square gate piers, each adorned with a dentilled cornice and a gadrooned acorn finial. The stable yard is enclosed and connects to the service wing of Hanch Hall through a brick wall that also has an acorn finial and an iron lamp standard.
On the north-east side of the courtyard stands the main coach house and stable block, which is arranged in an H-plan and faces south-west. This two-storey building features a storey band and a central range that contains a tack room, which is recessed between two gabled crosswings. The left crosswing contains stalls, while the right houses the coach house. The central panelled tack room door has a segmental head and is flanked by segmental-headed casements. To the left is a segmental-headed stable door with a small pointed window nearby, and there are large doors leading into the coach house. The first-floor windows are arranged in a rhythm of 3:2:3 lights, all dating from the mid-19th century.
Attached at right angles to the left is a single-storey, two-bay building with double doors and a gable capped by an acorn finial, which may have served as a cartshed. Inside, the stable retains two loose boxes, a stall partition, feed baskets, and water basins, along with king-post roof trusses.
