Description

Coachmans Cottage No. 2 and the adjoining building date from around the mid-19th century and late 19th century. The structure features dressed serpentine stone brought to course, with dressed granite quoins, sills, mullions, and window heads. The left side is made of painted rubble. It has a scantle slate roof with gable ends and axial dressed stone chimneys. The south gable, one dormer, and porch gable have ornate wooden barge boards with alternate cusps and roundels, along with three gabled dormers.

The long rectangular range includes an earlier section now used as garages on the left, which has been converted to accommodation and extended to the right in the late 19th century. The main accommodation on the right consists of three rooms to the left over a basement and a reception room to the right, with an entrance vestibule in between. There are two additional rooms to the left with a vestibule between them. The building is single storey and has a roughly west-facing front.

It features wide carriage or garage openings on the left and a six-window accommodation front on the right. Notable features include the three gabled dormers to the left of the main entrance, a gabled porch supported by rustic wooden poles, a diamond-pane top-glazed four-panel door, and a three-light diamond-pane leaded window to the right of the porch. The south gable end overlooks the main driveway and has a four-light canted bay window with leaded diamond panes. The interior has not been inspected. This building is one of those associated with the former Bosahan House, which was demolished by fire in the 1950s, and it forms part of a planned group on three sides of a cobbled courtyard.
