Description
The former coach house and stable, located approximately 100 meters south of Brantwood, was built in 1872 for John Ruskin. It is now used as a tea room and exhibition hall. The building is constructed of slate with a slate roof and features two storeys and three bays, with the first bay projecting forward under a gable. The right side has a one-storey wing with a half-hipped gable. The windows are fitted with label moulds and casements. The second and third bays include an entrance with an overlight, flanked by windows, all beneath a continuous label mould, along with a loading door that has a gablet above. The right side has two entrances, while the wing features a split stable door and a window. The left side has a hipped pentice over two coach house doors and two gabled half dormers on the first floor. At the rear, there is a first-floor entrance that likely leads to a groom's lodging and a hayloft. Inside, there are three stable partitions and mangers, and the hayloft is supported by double scissor trusses that clasp a short king post.
