Description

The Coach House at Ury House, likely designed by John Baird of Glasgow in 1855, was converted into a dwelling around 1980. This former coach house is a single and two-storey, five-bay structure with a rectangular plan and Tudor detailing. It features a shaped central gable, polygonal ogee-roofed turreted buttresses, pedimented stone dormer heads, and a central courtyard. The building is constructed from squared and coursed pink granite, accented with contrasting stugged grey ashlar dressings. Notable architectural elements include a moulded eaves course, hoodmoulded pointed-arch and segmental-arch openings, stugged voussoirs, concave-moulded arrises, and raked cills.

On the south elevation, there is a symmetrical two-storey range with substantial, three-stage, ogee-roofed buttresses flanking a slightly advanced central bay. This bay features a broad hoodmoulded cart arch infilled with a part-glazed timber door and a single hoodmoulded window above in a stone-finialled gablehead with kneelers. The flanking bays are regularly fenestrated, with glazed arrowslits at ground level and first-floor windows that break the eaves into the dormer heads.

The west elevation has a gabled design with a door to the left and a window to the right at ground level, along with another window centered above. The door and window openings are set back in single-storey bays at the outer left. The east elevation also features a gabled design with a cart arch at ground level, infilled with a part-glazed timber door and a single window above. There are altered single-storey bays set back to the outer right. The north elevation consists of a two-storey structure with flanking single-storey wings.

The courtyard elevations display a variety of elements, including a single pointed-arch cart entrance to the stone-finialled gable at the center of the south range and three segmental arches to the north range, all of which are infilled. The windows have been replaced with plate glass in timber sash and case frames. The roof is covered with large grey slates, and there are ashlar stacks with cans, some polygonal, along with ashlar-coped skews featuring moulded skewputts and decorative cast-iron downpipes with rainwater hoppers.

The interior has been modernized. Additionally, there is a low flat-coped terrace wall and a semicircular-coped coursed rubble boundary wall to the west.
