Description

The Coach House Block and attached gateway, located 200 meters southeast of Shrubland Hall, dates from the early 19th century. It consists of three ranges surrounding a courtyard. On either side of the entrance at the open north side are two-storey pavilions. Behind these pavilions are opposing ranges that include coach-houses and workshops. At the rear of the courtyard is a two-storey range that provides accommodation for grooms. This section features a three-bay block that projects slightly forward, topped with a shallow moulded and stuccoed pediment that includes a clock in the tympanum. The building is primarily constructed of gault brick, with the two-storey blocks having parapets and hipped slated roofs, along with gault brick chimneys.

The windows include various 19th-century small-pane sashes and casements, as well as some late 20th-century casements. The pavilions are adorned with small-pane sashes that have moulded and eared architraves made of stucco, with several blind windows included in the design for symmetry. The coach-house doorways feature segmental heads made of gault brick and pairs of framed and boarded doors, along with several fielded panelled pedestrian doors.

To the left of the entrance is a section of screen wall made of gault brick, which incorporates a notable gateway made of limestone. This gateway is supported by composite pilasters that hold up a moulded cornice, which is enriched and inscribed with "REGARDEZ MON DROIGHT." The gateway is framed by a moulded architrave on the north face and a pair of rusticated stuccoed piers on the south. The wrought iron gate includes side panels and a crown, and above it, a fan radiates from a lunette that bears the date 1841.
