The Coachmans Cottage

The Coachmans Cottage is a coachman's cottage that was converted to a coach house at the rear, dating from the late 19th century. It features dressed serpentine stone brought to course, with dressed granite quoins and lintels, and wooden mullions. The roof is made of scantle slate and has wooden barge boards with alternate cusps and roundels at the gable ends and the porch gable. There are two diagonally set stone chimney shafts with moulded cornices located over the middle of the roof. The building is square in plan and was probably originally designed with four rooms, but two large doorways were cut at the rear left and right, likely in the early 20th century, to increase carriage accommodation. One window was resited to the middle between these doorways. The entrance vestibule is located between two equal front rooms. The cottage is a single storey and has a symmetrical two-window front facing roughly south, with a central doorway. The entrance features a top-glazed four-panel door and an open gabled porch supported by rustic wooden posts. The windows are three-light mullioned with original leaded diamond panes. This building is one of the structures associated with the former Bosahan House, which was demolished by fire in the 1950s. It is part of a planned group of buildings surrounding three sides of a cobbled courtyard.
