Description
This small stone building, dating from 1831, is located in the garden of Coombs Hay, although Coombs Hay itself is not included in the listing. It was originally a water supply pump or filter house for the Duke of Rutland. The building is constructed of ashlar sandstone and has a flat roof now covered with corrugated sheeting. It has a rectangular plan and is a single storey.
The exterior features a basket-arched doorway with a late 20th-century door and a sunken oval date panel above it. There is a moulded cornice and a two-course ashlar parapet. Each return of the building has square, high-level window openings.
Inside, the building is lined with ashlar and has semi-octagonal imposts from which the ribs of a vaulted ceiling spring, complete with a rosette boss. There is no original machinery remaining. In 1847, it was described as a "waterhouse with mains pipes and other works" and was part of Bakewell's first piped water supply from the Duke's reservoirs near Manners Wood. The property became the ownership of the Local Board in 1872 and is now situated in a private garden.
