Description
Coastfields is a small house dating from 1799, with an extension added around the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed Purbeck stone and features stone tile roofs with gabled ends, as well as stone stacks at the gable ends and along the ridge. The original 1799 house has a two-room plan with a central entrance, where the larger room on the right and the smaller room on the left are heated by gable-end stacks. The large outshut at the back is likely partly integral to the original structure.
The exterior of the house is two storeys high, with a one-to-two window arrangement on the east front. The original two-window section on the right has small four-pane sash windows with stone cills, and a central doorway featuring a plank door and a simple 20th-century wooden porch. Above the porch is a stone tablet inscribed with 'S.C. 1799'. To the left is the taller two-storey, one-window mid-19th century extension, which has large four-pane sash windows. At the rear, the roof of the original house extends down as a catslide over the outshut, and there is a small outshut at the right angle with the extension, along with another extension at the north end. The interior has not been inspected.
