Stable And Coach House, 20 Metres To Rear Of The Hermitage

This stable and coach house, located 20 meters behind The Hermitage, dates from around 1860 and is possibly designed by William Butterfield. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone rubble with rough quoins, wide eaves, and a slate roof featuring ashlar stacks. The building has a rectangular plan and is designed in a plain Gothic style. It stands two stories high and has a layout of three bays, one bay, and one bay, with the center bay slightly stepped forward under a gable. The windows are 2-light stone mullioned with painted heads and labels above. There is a central chamfered stone door opening with a Tudor arch head and a label over it, leading to a 20th-century glazed door. To the right, there are paired broad carriage entrances, also with Tudor arch heads, featuring vertical plank doors.
