Description
The Coach House is a former stable building dating from around 1860, originally constructed for Sir Charles Booth as an outbuilding to Netherfield House. It is now a separate residence. The structure is built of grey brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof made with large slates.
The building has a tall single-storey central section flanked by two unequal two-storey wings to the east. On the south side of the northern wing, there is a glazed coach house canopy supported by large openwork cast iron brackets. Atop the central section, there is a louvred cupola with a lead spire and a fox windvane.
The central part of the building has a four-light transomed window set beneath a segmental gauged arch. The northern wing features an overhanging verge at the gable, a toplight hamper on the roof, a stone string course, and panelled brickwork. There are two upper round arched windows on the eastern wall of this wing, which are linked by a stone dripmould. Above these windows, there is a clock face set in a bullseye, with a stone-framed rectangular panel below. The Coach House is included for its group value with Netherfield House.
