Description
The coach house, stables, and servant cottages, located approximately 140 meters southwest of Escot, are now used partly as a workshop, partly as offices, and partly as cottages. Likely built around 1838, they are contemporary with Escot and incorporate two 18th-century cottages. The structure is made of Flemish bond brick with brick stacks and chimney shafts, and it has a roof that is partly slate and partly red tile.
The building consists of four ranges that enclose a courtyard, with a carriageway entrance through the south wing. The north wing serves as the coach house, while the east wing was originally stables but has been partially converted into a cottage. The front (south) wing also contains stables, which are now used as offices. The three wings that face the courtyard are complemented by the west wing, which faces outward and consists of three cottages featuring three axial stacks and one stack at the south end. The center cottage appears to have been formed by combining two 18th-century cottages.
The building is two storeys high. The carriageway features tall elliptical arches and has a pair of full-height plank doors. The coach house includes a six-bay arcade of tall elliptical arches that spring from stone imposts, with the center two arches having been combined. The original stable windows are round-headed casements with glazing bars, and the doorways include fanlights. The west side, which houses the cottages, has an irregular seven-window front, with an eighth tall round-headed window at the left end. Most windows are 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars, but there are also some sash windows, including six, nine, and twelve-pane sashes. There are three doorways, with the rightmost being a 19th-century six-panel door with a fanlight. The interiors have not been inspected.
