Description
The Coach House, Stables, and pigsty, located 40 yards north of Swangrove House, is a Grade II* listed building dating from around 1750. It was designed by Thomas Wright of Durham and later restored in the 20th century by C D Carus Wilson. The structure is made of rendered rubble and features a castellated brick parapet with ashlar coping, topped with hipped Cotswold stone slate roofs, with one section covered in slate. The building has a layout of 1:3:1 bays, with the outer bays in lower and slightly recessed wings. It includes single light casement windows with plain stone surrounds and under drip moulds, although the outer windows are blocked. The coach house is situated to the left and has a square-headed carriage entry on the side. To the right, there is a tack room with a lean-to pigsty behind it. The stables are centrally located and feature a hay-loft above, with a central plank door. This building is one of several designed by Wright for the fourth Duke of Beaufort and is part of his notable collection of garden and park buildings constructed between 1748 and 1756.
