The Coach House Including Railings and Gate Piers Across the Wilderness the Wilderness Front Area Railings, Gate Piers Across Coach House

The Coach House, including the railings and gate piers across The Wilderness, is located on East Street in Ashburton. This building dates from the mid-19th century and is constructed of coursed stone rubble with a slated roof featuring bands of fish scale slates. A rendered chimney with a moulded cap is situated on the left side of the roof.

The structure consists of a covered central coachway, with a former coach-house and tack room on the left and stables on the right. It is a single-storey building with a triple-gabled front, where the center gable, which contains the coach entrance, is recessed. Each of the outer gables is flanked by low buttresses and features a segmental-headed window with a moulded stone surround and a 4-paned wood casement. The bargeboards are patterned.

On the right-hand roof span, there is a six-sided louvre with a bracketed cornice, pointed roof, and weathervane. The center gable has a segmental-headed, heavily moulded stone doorway and patterned bargeboards. The front area is enclosed by railings that include five granite and limestone gate piers, which are shared with The Wilderness, a house located at the rear that was reportedly built in 1911. The railings have moulded finials, and the piers feature pyramidal caps.
