Description

The outbuildings located immediately northwest of Chicksands Priory date from the late 18th century and form the western side of the stable courtyard. The right-hand block, which serves as a coach house, is a single storey with attics, while the left-hand block, possibly used as stables, is two storeys high. Both blocks are constructed of red brick and topped with clay tile roofs.

On the east elevation, the left-hand block features two doorways and one window, all with two-centred arched heads, and a small plank door on the first floor. The roof includes two low ridge ventilators and an integral gable end stack on the left-hand side. The right-hand block boasts four pairs of timber coach doors, and the attic has four gabled dormers, which appear to be later additions.
