Former Coach House And Garden Walls To Stoke Hill Mansion

The former coach house, now used as a depot, is attached to garden walls on the west side. It dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red-brown brick, with patches from 20th-century repairs. It features a renewed plain tiled roof on the front and rear pitches of the central pavilion, while the side pitches are covered with slate, and the lower roofs of the side wings are also slate. A wooden cupola topped with a ribbed lead dome sits on the central roof.

The structure has a central two-storey pavilion with a square cupola and lower single-storey wings at each end. There is a small stack on the right-hand wing. The square cupola has open, keyed, two-centre arches on each side and is topped with a scrolled weathervane finial. A clock face is mounted on the front of the wooden plinth. The building features brick dentilled eaves and a plat band over the ground floor of the central range, with impost plat bands of windows on the central range that continue as a plat band across the side wings.

The central section has five bays, with 19th-century mullioned and transomed cross casements on the first floor. The ground floor has two large fixed nine-pane windows that alternate with blocked former windows at the ends, all under round gauged-brick heads. The central door is also beneath a similar gauged brick arch. The right-hand wing contains one casement window and one door, with an elliptical gauged brick arch over a former opening that is now blocked. The left-hand wing has a blocked window and double garage doors to the left, also under an elliptical gauged-brick arch. There is a corrugated-iron shed attached to the front left of the centre.

The garden walls attached to the left side of the coach house are approximately 2.5 metres high and are coped with bricks laid on edge. The wall extends about 10 metres to the rear of the coach house and then turns west to enclose a rectangular plot measuring approximately 40 metres, which is now occupied by 1960s development. The depot and coach house appear somewhat neglected at the time of the last survey.
