Description
The Coach House, stables, groom's house, and linking garden walls date back to 1806. They are constructed from local stone rubble with ashlar dressings and feature a plain clay tiled roof. The buildings are arranged in a "T" plan and consist of a single storey with attics, displaying four bays with irregular fenestration. The west elevation has a central projecting gable that includes a "Y"-tracery window on the first floor, and above it is a plain oval plaque inscribed with "T L 1806". The rest of the windows are 20th-century casements with traceried glazing bars.
Located 10 metres to the west, linked by walling, is the groom's house, which is two storeys tall with one room on each floor and a small enclosed side staircase. There is a small 20th-century lean-to addition to the north. Twelve metres northwest of the groom's house are the stables, which match the other buildings and are single storey with six bays. The stables feature semi-circular "Y"-tracery windows in bays one and six, and segmental arched doorways in bays two and five, with modern casement windows in bays three and four.
The linking walls are made of rubble with flat stone copings, averaging three metres high, and they enclose the stable yard, kitchen garden, and fruit garden. The walls reach a height of four metres and are brick-lined on the inside. This complex forms a complete and attractive servants and kitchen garden setup for the former Charlton Musgrove Rectory, which was built in 1806 by the Leir family, who held the church living for about 200 years. The rectory was destroyed by fire around 1940.
