Description
This is an 18th-century coach house, part of the larger Springhill estate outbuildings and a significant example of a carefully planned group of buildings. Construction likely occurred between 1760 and 1779, during the ownership of Col William Conynghan. The estate was later acquired by the National Trust in 1957.
The coach house is a five-bay, one-and-a-half-story building with a gabled, natural slate roof and stone walls, originally whitewashed. The northeast elevation overlooks a paved courtyard, bordered on its northeast side by a separate harness building. The main façade features a central, segmented arched opening, which provides access to a pigeon house and cartshed located beyond. Flanking the arched opening are square-headed openings, one with sheeted doors and the other with a single door, both also sheeted. Above, three shuttered vertical openings are centrally positioned. The southwest side mirrors the northeast, with the segmented arched opening and a single, squared-headed door to the left. Evidence suggests a possible earlier doorway on the right side, now built up, with visible remains of brick trim. The southwest wall is built of coursed and random rubble stonework with red brick detailing around the opening. A natural slate roof, half-round gutter, and single downpipe complete this elevation. The northeast gable features a centrally placed, square-headed, 16-pane sliding sash window, with exposed sash boxes. The walls here are of random rubble stonework.
The coach house sits between the harness building and a pigeon tower and cartshed, creating a side to two separate courts, the remaining sides defined by enclosing random rubble walls. One court is paved, while the other is lawned. The building is a key component of the well-ordered layout of the Springhill estate outbuildings. It was initially recorded under reference HB09/06/027 in the first survey.
