Description

The Coachhouse at Balgone House is a mid 18th century, two-storey pavilion with a rectangular plan that was once connected to Balgone House by quadrant walls. It is constructed from random purple rubble with margins at the southern angles.

The east elevation features three bays, with a central doorway that has a segmentally arched panel inserted below the lintel. There are windows on either side, although the left window is half blocked. The first floor has three windows situated under the eaves.

The west elevation is symmetrical with three bays, showcasing larger openings in the central bay, while the ground floor is entirely blind.

On the north elevation, two doorways are grouped at the center, each topped with large rectangular fanlights. To the left, there is a single first floor window that breaks the eaves in a gabled dormer head.

The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern. The roof is piended slate with sweeping eaves and a central stack. A newel stone stair can be accessed directly from the south doorway. The property includes a cobbled court and rubble retaining walls, featuring squat ashlar gatepiers to the west. Additionally, there is a single-storey cottage and coach house combined, which closes off the courtyard to the north.
