Description

Coul Mains is an earlier 19th-century house that has been altered in the 20th century. It is two storeys high with an attic and features a three-bay classical design. The exterior is made of squared and coursed rubble with slate pinning, contrasting droved ashlar quoins, and raised margins. The sides and rear are harled with stone margins, and there is a base course and eaves cornice.

On the southeast elevation, the entrance features a deep-set, two-leaf part-glazed timber door at the center, topped with a four-pane fanlight in an architraved surround. This is adorned with a frieze that has a carved oak leaf on an oval patera, flanked by floreate details around other paterae and a pediment with a blind tympanum. The flanking bays have corniced windows, and there is regular fenestration on the first floor with a decorative frieze beneath the eaves cornice.

The northwest elevation has a boarded timber door with a letterbox fanlight to the left of center, accompanied by adjacent flanking windows. To the right, there is a small window and another small window further to the outer right. The first floor features a window in the outer right bay and three windows to the left of center.

On the northeast elevation, there is a window to the right of center at ground level, with a small window above it on the first floor and another small window to the outer left. There is also a small blinded window off-center to the left at the gablehead.

The southwest elevation has an altered bipartite window off-center to the right at ground level, a window to the outer right on the first floor, and a small blinded window off-center to the right at the gablehead.

The house features 4 and 12 pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, except for a fixed window at the center of the first floor at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slates and has broad, coped ashlar gablehead stacks with some cans and ashlar coped skews.

Inside, the house has plain cornicing and a roof with a kingpost truss. The boundary walls are made of coped rubble.
