Coach house and stables. Probably late C18, enlarged in the late C19. Roughly squared and coursed stone with cob to first floor. Corrugated-iron cladding to front and corrugated-iron roof, gable-ended to front and back. Late C19 additions of uncoursed stone rubble with some red-brick dressings and gable ended Welsh slate roofs. Plan and development: Former coach house to right, gable-ended to front and back (facing south). Blocked doorways in side walls. The building possibly served another function, possibly formerly stables. Probably converted into coach house when 2 ranges of stables were added at right angles to left in the late C19. One storey and loft with one-storey stable ranges. Exterior: gable end to front has boarded loft door with C19 red-brick dressings, and wide ground-floor entrance with wooden frame. Small narrow ground-floor vents in left-hand side wall, with stone lintels. Rear gable end has first-floor C19 three- light mullioned wooden window with wooden lintel, inserted in former loft doorway (see straight joints and projecting stones as steps). Ground-floor boarded door to left with wooden lintel and 3 small ground-floor vents with stone lintels, left-hand one blocked and right-hand one partly blocked. Part of rear corner rebuilt (see straight joints). Late C19 stables have boarded doors with wooden lintels and inserted windows. Interior: Blocked ground-floor side doorways with splayed jambs. Narrow vents also with spalyed jambs. Loft supported on cross beams.
