The Coach House, Midgham Park

The Coach House at Midgham Park is a former stable block, principally of 18th-century date, which has been subdivided and converted to domestic use. It has undergone alterations and additions in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

The building is constructed of brick laid in Flemish bond with a plain tile roof and lead dressings. It is one storey with an attic floor and L-shaped in plan.

The south front, which formed the principal front of the original stable yard, features a projecting gabled wing to the right and three central bays. The right-hand bay of the centre projects slightly and contains double timber doors with strap hinges and a basket-arched head. Above this is a pedimental gable with a blocked oculus to the centre. The ridge above the centre bay carries a square lead-covered base with a convex clock face, above which stands an octagonal bellcote with angled timber posts and a copper-clad dome topped by a weathervane. At either side of this central bay are ground-floor sash windows with round-arched heads and attic dormers with flat heads. The right-hand bay also contains a plank door with basket-arched head. To the left of the central bays is a projecting gabled wing with three evenly-spaced arched windows to the ground floor, which appear to have been inserted in the 20th century. A band divides the lower storey from the attic, which has a central arched window. Projecting south from the right corner of this wing is a portion of walling with preserved rustication, believed to be part of the original Midgham House which stood on this site.

The west front has four arched bays to the ground floor with a door to the right of centre and arched sash windows. A smaller arched window is at the far left. Three attic dormers have arched heads with lead sheeting covering their flanks.

The courtyard contains an entrance archway and double doors to the centre of the southern side with arched windows at either side. The western side has a series of arched windows to the ground floor with flat-headed dormers to the attic, and a glazed door with arched head at the far right. The northern and eastern walls of the courtyard, as laid out in the 19th century, form parts of Walnut Cottage and Midgham Court respectively, but do not form part of this listed building.

The interior has been divided to provide a number of reception rooms at ground-floor level along the southern range, with a connecting corridor to the western range including the entrance hall.
