Description

Garden Court is a former coach house that has been converted into a residence, along with its attached garden walls. It dates from the early 19th century, with some 20th-century alterations. Originally, Garden Court served as the coach house for Oakfield, which is now known as Oakfield House and Wellington House. The building is constructed of red brick and features a hipped slate roof with end brick chimneystacks.

It is one to two storeys high and has five windows. The central section is two storeys tall, with a central arch that has been filled in with a Diocletian window on the first floor, flanked by two traceried oculi on each side. The ground floor includes a doorcase on the left side, which has a wooden weatherhood supported by brackets, a rectangular fanlight, and a sidelight, along with two 20th-century five-light canted bay windows. The end bays are one storey high with hipped roofs and feature 20th-century four-light casements set under cambered arches.

The walls are made of either red brick or white stocks. The southern section facing the road is built of white stocks on the outer side and red brick with black headers on the inner side, both arranged in Flemish bond. This section includes a brick plinth, panels, moulded stone coping, and eight square piers topped with pyramidal stone caps. The western section is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, ramping up to the southwest corner and supported by brick buttresses. The eastern section has a curved part made of white brick in header bond to the southeast, while the remainder is in red brick in Sussex bond, featuring brick coping and incorporating a blocked entrance with two brick piers that have pyramidal stone caps and a ramped spur in front of Garden Court. The building is included for its group value.
