Description

Coachman's Cottage is an early 18th-century building that has been refronted and consists of a pair of 17th-century cottages now combined into one house. It features brown-red and grey brick with red dressings and quoins, topped by an old tile roof with an eaves cornice. The structure is two storeys high and has four bays. The windows are paired leaded casements, although modern diamond leads have replaced the original rectangular ones. The ground floor windows are adorned with scalloped cut brick arches that have Baroque curved tops. There are entries between the first and second bays and between the third and fourth bays, with the left-hand cottage's entry blocked. A modern gabled porch is present on the right-hand side, and there is a rebuilt lean-to outshot on the right as well. The south-east elevation is timber framed, and there is a stack made of old thin bricks on the right with three attached shafts.
