Description
The Motor House to Good Hope is a building constructed in 1907, designed by Robert John Thomson and A G Pomeroy. It features painted stucco that matches the main house, Good Hope, and has a green slate pitched roof with end gables that include kneelers. On the west side, there is a metal-framed window, and the building has double timber doors with four small lights at the top, which have been moved forward. An extension was added to the south, and there is an early 20th-century pitched hipped glazed washing porch supported by a two-bay square timber frame, which is bracketed on the roadside. This porch was likely added in the 1920s and is certainly present before 1933, as indicated by the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map.
