Description
The Coach House at Wishaw House dates from the mid-19th century and is a two-storey, six-bay structure. It features a single-storey rectangular projection on the main elevation, with a forestair leading to the main entrance located on the first floor. The ground floor contains stables and tackrooms, while living quarters are situated above. The building is constructed of sandstone with a plain base course, a dividing band between the ground and first floors, and an eaves course. It has projected ashlar margins and quoins, topped with a piended roof that has projecting eaves.
On the southeast (principal) elevation, the facade is symmetrical with three bays and regular fenestration. To the right, there is an advanced three-bay wing with a stone forestair and a single door on the return. A single-storey outhouse is located on the ground floor, featuring a sliding full-height coach house door to the left, along with a square-headed door with a fan light and a window beside it. The wallhead is capped with a chimney.
The northeast (rear) elevation is also symmetrical with five bays and regular fenestration, including a square-headed door and a double stable door to the left. The northeast (side) elevation has six bays, maintaining symmetry and regular fenestration, with a blind window on the centre ground of the first floor and another at the far left of the first floor. The southwest (side) elevation is symmetrical with regular fenestration.
The windows are two-pane timber sash and case, and the doors are plain pine. The roof has been replaced with concrete tiles, and there are sandstone coped chimney stacks at the wallheads on the southeast, southwest, south, east, north, and the main roof ridge, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.
Inside, the ground floor includes a timber-lined tackroom equipped with iron goods, benches, and presses. The stables feature wooden stalls and cast-iron internal structural members. The first-floor accommodation was not accessible for viewing in 2000.
