Description
The Coach House, located approximately 5 meters south of Mariners, is an early 19th-century structure, likely built for Benjamin Sampson, who managed a local powder factory. The building features Flemish bond brick walls with granite quoins and wooden lintels. It has a low-pitched, scantle slate roof that is U-shaped in plan, with gable ends on the projecting front wings. A brick lateral chimney is positioned over the middle of the rear wall.
The layout includes a central tack room flanked by two identical coach houses that project at the front on the left and right. The building is single-storey with a south front that has three bays. The central bay is boarded, while the flanking gable ends each have a wide central doorway, spanned by a wooden lintel and featuring a round brick arched opening with a fanlight above. A 16-pane sash window is present at the rear right.
Although the interior was not fully inspected, it was noted that part of the floor is made of embossed bricks. The rear and right sides have rubble retaining walls with dressed stone copings, which incorporate an L-shaped staircase with dressed stone steps and original wrought iron handrails that curve under at the newels. The Coach House is part of a group that includes coachmen's cottages, stables, and Tullimaar, a high-quality house built around 1828.
