Probably coach house or stables to Stanley House (qv). Circa early to mid C19. Limestone with ashlar front range. Gable-ended back range with concrete tile roof; front range has flat roof behind parapet. 2 parallel ranges; the back range probably the coach house or stables; the Gothic style front range has rooms on either side of a pair of central carriageways (both now blocked). 2 storey front range with parapet with cornice 3:1:2:1:3 bay front. To left and right 2 storey canted bays; centre breaks forward with 2 tall pointed arch carriageways (blocked) with imposts and doorways either side with C20 glazed doors. The windows have 2-centred gothic arches with stone Y-tracery and casements; rectangular central window over the carriageways. The back range has rectangular windows with C20 casements and C20 extensions. Interior: Some C19 joinery in front; back range used as engineering workshop. Note: Stanley House was the home of the owner of the adjacent Stanley Mills (qv) and it may have had some use in connection with the mill. The present occupant suggests it was a coaching station.
