Description
The coachhouse and attached wall and archway, located immediately to the east of Belcombe Court, were built in the 1740s for Francis Yerbury. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble with an ashlar facade and features a gabled stone-coped stone slate roof. The coachhouse is a two-storey, three-bay range with a keyed segmental arch above 20th-century double doors and a wood lintel over additional 20th-century double doors in the center. There are label moulds above a paired two-light pointed-arched window to the right and one-light first-floor windows, all fitted with latticed leaded lights. A cusped and ogee-headed niche is located in the center. The interior has not been inspected.
To the left (west) of the coachhouse, there is a late 15th-century archway that features a hood mould over a double-chamfered two-centred arch. A tall wall extends approximately 14 meters to the northwest of the coachhouse, connecting to the stable. The stable building, which is now converted to a garage, is believed to be contemporary with the early portions of Belcombe Court and is likely from the 15th century, although it has undergone significant restoration, probably in the 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar with an old tiled roof, gable ends featuring parapets and kneelers, and a plinth. There is a canopied niche above the garage doors. Adjacent to the stables is a tall pointed archway that provides access to the north side of Belcombe Court; this archway is likely late medieval and may have originally been the south archway from a neighboring barn. It is built of random rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain chamfered arch of two orders with a drip mould above. Belcombe Court, along with the temple, stables, barn, grotto, and cottage to the west, forms an important architectural group.
