Description
The building is a late 17th-century coach house, later remodelled as a house around 1975. It’s constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with squared quoins, a string course at the first-floor level, and a tile roof, featuring brick stacks. The coach house is two storeys high and six bays wide. A doorway with a moulded stone hood and stone surround, and a 20th-century door, is located in the second bay from the right. A similar doorway with a plank door is in the second bay from the left. Carriage entrances from the 18th century, with ashlar-surrounded arches, are in the third, fourth, and fifth bays from the left, and now have a 20th-century glazed sunroom built across them. Two-light, stone-mullioned windows with moulded stone surrounds are located in the left and right bays and the third bay from the right on the ground floor. A similar window is on the first floor, with a three-light, stone-mullioned window in the second bay from the right. The mullions have been mostly renewed. The gable ends have coping. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century. It originally served as a coach house to Watford Court, which was demolished around 1974. The building is included on the list for its group value.
