Description
The coach house, dovecote, and stable wing, located about 15 yards east of Bradford House, date from around 1774 and have mid-19th century alterations and additions. The building is constructed of brick with sandstone dressings and a plinth, topped with a hipped plain tiled roof. It stands two storeys high and features a band between the storeys and a moulded eaves cornice. The facade is arranged in a 2:2:2 bay pattern, with end quoins. The central bay projects forward and has a pedimented gable with quoin strips, while the intermediate band is positioned higher than the outer bays.
There are two semi-circular headed stone archways with moulded keyblocks and partly-glazed 20th-century double doors. The first floor has two blind windows with stone lintels and keyblocks, and a keyed oculus in the gable apex. The outer bays contain a ground floor and two first floor cross-casements, all with stone lintels and moulded keyblocks. The inner bays feature a stable door with a transom light above, and a moulded flat canopy supported by shaped brackets.
At the center of the roof ridge, there is a glazed octagonal cupola with a moulded cornice, domical lead roof, ball finial, and weathervane. Inside, the upper floor of the central bay from the dovecote is lined with about 450 nesting boxes and alighting ledges. A tie-beam in the southern roof is inscribed with the date "MAY 1774".
To the left gable end is the stable wing, which has a gable-end parapet and two levels with a three-course band between storeys. The front elevation features a 4-pane sash window and a half-glazed door with a transom light, both with cambered heads, as well as a stable door with a similar transom light to those in the outer bays of the coach house. There is also a lean-to six-bay shelter shed at the rear of the coach house, along with a 19th-century wing at the back of the stable section.
