Former Coach House Of Clervaux Castle

The former coach house of Clervaux Castle, built around 1843 by Ignatius Bonomi and John Augustus Cory for Sir William Chaytor, now serves as garages and outbuildings. Constructed from sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and a Westmorland slate roof, the building features three and two storeys across nine bays.

On the north-east elevation, there are quoins and a carriageway located to the left of center, which has a timber lintel that is likely an alteration. The first floor includes nine slit vents designed as loop-holes with ashlar quoined jambs. The first bay rises as a quoined tower topped with a battlemented parapet, while the other bays are two storeys high and also have a battlemented parapet, behind which is a monopitch roof.

The south-west side features a concrete lintel above the carriageway, with other former coach-house openings having timber lintels beneath segmental relieving arches, some of which include board-leaved garage doors. There are chamfered ashlar slit vents leading to a hayloft above, along with a shuttered pitching hole. Quarter-round corbels support the gutter, and to the right, the tower has a quoined doorway with leaved doors and a ladder leading to the hayloft. A clock is situated on the top storey of the tower.

This building was part of a neo-Romanesque mansion constructed between 1842 and 1843, which was demolished in 1951. The nearby stables have been converted into a bungalow.
