Description
The Coach House is a former coach house and stables, which was partly being converted into a private house at the time of the survey in August 1985. It likely dates from the early 18th century, as the rear wall appears in Kip's engraving of Ampney Park, and was refronted in the later 18th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone, faced in coursed and dressed stone on a plinth with alternating flush quoins. It features a mostly stone slate roof, with some slate on the west side, and slates removed from the west end block. The Coach House is located within the grounds of Ampney Park.
The structure has an 'L'-shaped range, with the coach house on the left projecting forward from the stable range, while the west block of stables also projects slightly and turns the corner to face west. The entire building has a tall ground floor with a wide moulded cornice and a tall parapet on the stables. The coach house has a first floor above the cornice and a blind attic storey above a second cornice. There are three bays, each with large segmental-headed carriage arches, all featuring double timber doors that are likely from the 19th century.
On the first floor, there are three leaded 2-light stone mullion windows with flush surrounds, along with three small blind single lights in the attic storey. A large external stack is located on the left-hand return. The north side of the stable has four 2-light stone mullion windows with transoms and iron casements, as well as a 6-panel door with a fanlight situated between the first and second windows from the left. The west side features two similar windows and a similar door in between. The rear has five gabled dormers with twin 6-pane casements on the south side, resembling those in Kip's engraving.
