Description

The coach house, located about 20 yards north of Overbury Court, is an early 18th-century building that has undergone alterations around 1900, likely by the architect Richard Norman Shaw. Constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, it features a hipped Welsh slate roof with swept eaves. The building is single storey with an attic and dormers, showcasing a moulded plinth and eaves cornice.

It has a symmetrical facade with a layout of 2:1:2 bays, where large pilasters separate the outer bays. The central bay projects forward and is topped with a gable. The outer bays contain windows with dropped keyblocks and tall cross-casements fitted with leaded lights. Above each pair of bays, there are hipped-roofed dormers from around 1900, each with a three-light leaded casement. The central bay features an attic window with a dropped keyblock and a cross-casement, and beneath it is the main entrance. This entrance has a rusticated surround, a stepped and rusticated lintel with a dropped keyblock, double panelled doors, and a plain transom light.

At the center of the roof ridge, there is a clock tower adorned with a moulded cornice and large square panels on each side, featuring an egg and dart moulded surround; the east panel includes a clock face. The clock tower is topped with an octagonal lantern that has round-arched arcaded sides and a domical lead roof, complete with a ball finial and weathervane.

The south side of the coach house, which faces Overbury Court, also exhibits a 2:1:2 bay arrangement with cross-casements and dormers, but the bays are narrower and lack pilasters. The central bay has a blind attic window, and the entrance is accessed by two flights of four steps, which are flanked by ornate cast iron railings.
