The Old Coach House, Yard Walls, Gates And Gate Piers, Barn And Stable

The Old Coach House, along with its yard walls, gates, gate piers, barn, and stable, is a 17th-century structure with 19th-century details and restoration. It features red brick and red pantiles. The house is single storey with attics, located to the south. Its north front facing the yard has four three-light 20th-century casements, an off-centre 20th-century brick porch, and four 20th-century dormers. There is a brick plinth and partly interrupted moulded brick eaves. The south front has 20th-century ground floor openings, moulded eaves, and two gabled dormers with crow-stepped parapets. The west gable includes two moulded brick or terracotta attic sound-hole openings and a 20th-century stack.

Attached to the west is a mid-19th-century single storey stable with crow-stepped gables. To the north, there are two brick and battlemented walls with two gates and gate piers aligned with the barn, creating an enclosed rectangular courtyard. The barn to the north features a south front with three inserted cement-dressed mid-19th-century carriage arches and two loft windows above. There is a ground floor boarded door and two 20th-century windows above on the west side. The barn has kneelers and crow-stepped gables, with a sound hole opening featuring Gothic tracery at the east gable and a lean-to at the west with a crow-stepped parapet only on the south end. The barn roof consists of six bays with butt-purlins, wind-bracing, and four tie beams resting on the wall plate. This complex was formerly the stable court of Thursford Hall.
