Description

The Coach House, stables, associated courtyard walls, gatepiers, and mounting block date from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with extensions made around the late 19th century. The structure features granite ashlar, some pebble-dashed stucco, and granite rubble with granite dressings. The older parts have hipped scantle slate roofs, while the later stables and grooms' accommodation are covered with dry Delabole slate. A clock with a bellcote is located over the right gable of the grooms' accommodation.

The overall plan is irregular and L-shaped, consisting of an original three-bay coach house in the middle, former stables with grooms' accommodation above on the left, and a wing at right angles in front on the far left, which was remodeled and stuccoed around the late 19th century. On the right, there is a double-depth groom's or tack house with an integral range of four stables set back on the right, featuring openings at the rear. Additionally, there is an open smaller shed at right angles to the rear left.

The exterior is two storeys high, except for the late 19th-century single-storey stables. The east front has a 1:3:1 bay arrangement, with the three-bay coach house featuring a triangular pediment over the central bay. The three ground floor doorways have segmental arches, and there are possibly original 12-pane hornless sash windows on the first floor, with later horned sashes added to the left and right doorways. The stables on the left have original 16-pane hornless sash windows on the first floor and later 9-pane horned sashes below. The groom's house, projecting slightly to the right, has a late 19th-century tripartite window on the ground floor and a similar dormered window above, both with original horned sashes. The far-right stables retain their original doors, hopper windows, and a shelter roof supported by iron brackets. The interior has not been inspected. The associated walls flanking the front are made of ashlar piers topped with pyramidal caps, and there is a mounting block against the front wall on the far right.
