Description

The coachhouse at Coley Park Farm, likely built in the 18th century or early 19th century, is constructed of silver grey bricks with red brick dressings. It features stone keys, impost blocks, and a chamfered plinth at the entrances. The building has a stone moulded coping along the parapet, with a central break that includes three staggered segmental arches and a ramped and shaped parapet. A lozenge-shaped clock is situated in the turret, which has weather arches adorned with a wyvern. The flanking wings contain doorways and a rubbed brick band, with two doors and two windows featuring moulded cills on the right-hand wing. The roof is made of slate.
