Description
This is a late 18th-century outbuilding, likely originally a laundry, that was later converted into a coach house and stable in the late 19th century, and subsequently into a cottage in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with a stone west elevation featuring quoins, and has Westmorland slate roofs.
The structure is rectangular with a polygonal pavilion at its east end. The north elevation, made of red brick, has a blocked first-floor opening with a flat arch at the east end. A wide, segmental cart or carriage entrance features sandstone quoined jambs and a stone voussoir arch (partially infilled, reducing it to a narrow entrance). A narrow entrance with matching jambs and a flat, chamfered lintel is located to the right. Above this entrance is a taking-in door, which served a former hayloft. Further along the north elevation is an ogee-headed window, which contrasts with those of The White House itself but is similar to the windows found in the north and south pavilions of a similar date.
The west elevation is of stone construction and exhibits alternating quoins, with a matching ogee-headed window on both the ground and first floors. The rear elevation shows a horizontal breakback, suggesting it was built against an existing structure. The east end has a battered sandstone ashlar plinth with a deep, moulded plinth course, featuring a five-sided polygonal bay window with a moulded stone surround, depressed ogee-arched lights, moulded stone mullions, and squared impost blocks.
Inside, the pavilion room to the east has a moulded cornice and a fireplace with a mid-19th century classical timber surround. The window surrounds are also timber, with classical pilasters as jambs and mullions, an ornate classical frieze, and a reeded moulding below. The central room features a pair of east-west chamfered ceiling beams. The most westerly room and the first floor were not inspected in 2019.
