Description
The Motor House and Fowl House is a building from 1905, designed by George Jack for Hugh and Lothian Bell of Rounton Grange. It features a timber frame with a pantile roof, clapboard, and brick construction, and is two storeys high. The main front has four sets of double garage doors with glazed upper lights. To the right, there is a single sash window and a small projecting wing with a part-glazed door. To the left, there is another single sash window and a door with an overlight, followed by a projecting lean-to with two sets of similar garage doors.
Above, there are four pairs of sashes in raking dormers, with a small two-light casement to the left. The south gable end has an infilled brick ground floor, with an open sleeping platform above that features an ornate wooden balustrade and a pair of French windows. The rear facade has a recessed centre flanked by gabled cross wings, with the central section infilled by a late 20th-century glazed conservatory. The south gable has a single door and a casement window, with a side jettied upper floor that has a pair of sashes and a small casement. The north gable features three casements and a single sash above. The north front is dominated by an external brick stack with a date stone, and there is a doorway to the right, with different sashes on either side of the stack.
Additionally, there is a coach house built in 1875 by Philip Webb for Hugh and Lothian Bell. This structure is made of brick with a pantile roof and is also two storeys high, featuring low angle buttresses. Both the north and south gable walls have thicker lower sections with two blind four-centred arches rising into two tall buttresses, each topped with a single window. The east front is blank, while the west front has two stable doors and three windows above.
