Description
The coach house, now functioning as a garage, is part of a pair built around 1904 by E.S. Prior, located approximately 20 meters northwest of Thornfield Residential Home for the Elderly. The structure is made of uncoursed flint with random carstone and features carstone dressings and on-edge tile decorations, topped with pantiles. It is a single-storey building with a tall attic beneath a steeply pitched roof. The front has a parapetted gable with brick tumbling rising from low eaves. A wide semi-circular arch made of carstone, featuring tiles as a keystone, leads to doors set within a deep recessed arch. Above, there is a weather-boarded left facade and a keyed oculus with glazing bars in the attic gable, along with other decorative tile dressings, including lozenges.
To the right, there is a 4-light leaded casement window and a tall brick chimney shaft. A forward attached wall to the right has a tile string course below a brick cap, and a round flint pier that had fallen at the time of the survey. The forward stable wing to the left is also constructed of uncoursed flint with random carstone and tile dressings, featuring pantiles and gable parapets. This section consists of three bays and is single-storey. It has a central arch with a carstone segmental head and tile jambs, flanked by 4-light leaded casements with tile dressings. Low quarter-circle tanks in uncoursed flint are positioned at the angles to the left and right. The southeast gable includes an oculus with glazing bars and alternate voussoirs of carstone and groups of tiles, while the attached walls to the left and right end in square carstone piers approximately 3 meters high.
