Description

Garden House at West Farleigh Hall is a late 18th-century building that originally served as stables and a coach house, and is now a house. It is constructed of red and grey brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof. The central section, likely the coach house, is two stories tall and is oriented gable-end towards the courtyard, flanked by single-storey lean-to sections that were probably used as stables.

The building has a chamfered brick plinth and a plat band. The front gable ends of the lean-tos are built up as blind two-storey brick facades with plain parapets. The central section slightly projects forward and has a pedimented gable, with the base plat band continuing the line of the flanking parapet coping. There are brick stacks located towards the front and rear on the left side of the central section.

A hexagonal wooden bell cupola with a modillioned cornice, leaded onion dome, and weathervane is situated at the front of the central section. The front facade has five windows, including two blind windows with splayed rubbed brick voussoirs in each flanking section, and a central Diocletian window. The central light of this window forms the top of a half-glazed door that drops through the plat band to the lintel of the panelled ground-floor garage doors.

The flanking sections feature doubly-recessed arcading at the ground floor with rubbed brick voussoirs and a plat band at the impost level. Each of the four arches contains a semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars. The two inner arches have twelve-pane sash windows with horns. The left end arch has a boarded door leading to Garden House, while the right end has a boarded door with a four-light rectangular top light beneath the fanlight. The interior has not been inspected.
