Coach House And Stables Approximately 10 Metres Ot West Iof Upcott Barton

The coach house and stables, located approximately 10 metres to the west of Upcott Barton, date from the late 18th century and were enlarged in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from roughly squared and coursed stone with cob on the first floor, featuring corrugated-iron cladding on the front and a corrugated-iron roof that is gable-ended at both the front and back. The late 19th-century additions are made of uncoursed stone rubble with some red-brick dressings and gable-ended Welsh slate roofs.

The layout includes a former coach house on the right, which is gable-ended at both the front and back, facing south. There are blocked doorways in the side walls, and it is likely that the building served another function, possibly as stables, before being converted into a coach house when two ranges of stables were added at right angles to the left in the late 19th century. The structure has one storey and a loft, along with one-storey stable ranges.

On the exterior, the front gable end features a boarded loft door with 19th-century red-brick dressings and a wide ground-floor entrance framed in wood. There are small narrow ground-floor vents in the left-hand side wall, each with stone lintels. The rear gable end has a 19th-century three-light mullioned wooden window with a wooden lintel, which was inserted into a former loft doorway, indicated by straight joints and projecting stones that serve as steps. To the left, there is a ground-floor boarded door with a wooden lintel and three small ground-floor vents with stone lintels, one of which is blocked and another partly blocked. The rear corner has been rebuilt, as shown by the straight joints. The late 19th-century stables have boarded doors with wooden lintels and inserted windows.

Inside, there are blocked ground-floor side doorways with splayed jambs, and the narrow vents also feature splayed jambs. The loft is supported on cross beams.
