Coachman's Cottage and attached Stables, Coach Houses and Outbuildings

MATERIALS: built of cream coloured brick with slate roofs.

PLAN: the cottage stands at the south-west corner of the yard, and projects to the west of and outside the line of the garden wall. The house is rectangular, of two storeys with a modern porch; the stables and outbuildings are single storey and line the north and south sides of the yard, the entrance to which is through wide full height gates immediately to the north of the cottage.

EXTERIOR: the most prominent feature of the cottage is the Dutch gable to the north elevation. Below the gable is a single window to the first floor; the other three elevations are plain and also contain only one window each, all with flat arches, and there are doors to the south and east elevations; all windows are late C20 replacements. A door in the wall to the south of the cottage gives access to the small service yard for the cottage, which contains domestic outbuildings and is also accessible from the cottage kitchen door. On the south side of the coach yard and attached to the cottage immediately south of the front door is a single storey range containing stables and three coach houses with double doors; the stable door and large window with wooden bars have flat arches of red brick. The range opposite on the north side of the yard has four windows and a door facing onto the yard, and has some alterations to the west end.

INTERIOR: inside the cottage retains its plan form of two rooms to each floor. The interior is very plain, and modernisation has replaced some original features. The living room fireplace is a C20 tile example, although the fireplace surround survives in the north first floor bedroom. The first floor rooms also retain their original plain four panelled doors. A narrow enclosed staircase rises from the kitchen to a tiny landing between the bedrooms.
