4/172 Carriage House (Bistro)

GV II

Carriage house incorporating wall of earlier building. Back wall probably C17, otherwise circa early C19. Serpentine rubble, some dressed granite, brick piers and arches to front. Roof hipped on right, adjoining another building on the left, dry Delabole slate. Rectangular plan: the rear wall is approx 80 centimetres thick and has blocked circa C16 or C17 mullioned windows and doorway with remains of another doorway at the rear left hand corner. Five bays long and with large carriage opening at the front of each bay. Built end on to the slope. Converted into a restaurant in the C20 when the doorways were glazed. Single storey east front with 5 elliptically headed doorways with narrow brick piers between. The piers have dressed granite blocks with pintails for hanging the former doors and small blocks in the middle of each pier with fastenings to hold the doors open. The building slopes down to the left with each doorway at a slightly different level. The doorway is now filled with C20 doors and glazing. The rear wall deserves closer examination both to establish the former extent of the C16 or C17 building and to determine its original purpose.
