Hand Gate And Cobbled Yard, Corrienessan Coach House Including Boundary Walls, Milton

Corrienessan Coach House is a rectangular-plan, single storey with attic building, converted to a dwelling in the later 20th century. Built around 1887 as the coach house and ancillary building to Corrienessan, it was designed by John J Burnet, one of the best known Scottish architects of the later 19th century. The building sits on a small rise of ground to the northwest of the main house, to which it originally connected by a direct path.

The northeast gable end fronts directly onto the public road. The northwest elevation, which faces towards the rear of Corrienessan, is arranged in 3 bays. The right bay is a large gable end with modern openings including a canted bay window; the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map shows that a rectangular glass-roofed structure originally projected from this gable, indicating the building was also used for horticultural purposes. The central bay features a round arched doorway with a simple design echoing the main door of Corrienessan, topped with a multi-pane segmental fanlight, and to the left is a circular window. The attic floor is lit by a pitched dormer-headed window to the left and a flat-roofed dormer, separated from the gabled right bay by a tall wall-head stack.

The southeast elevation follows the same 3-bay pattern, with the left bay gabled and a modern rectangular bay to the ground floor with French doors above. A moulded timber string course runs between ground and first floors along the whole elevation. The entire first floor is detailed with half-timbering, mirroring the detailing of Corrienessan itself. The wide ground floor openings to the centre and right have possibly been slightly altered; the centre now contains a glazed and timber door with two multi-pane windows, while the right opening is screened by timber-boarded panelling with 3 multi-pane windows above.

The northeast gable end is blank at ground floor but has two windows to the first floor, which would originally have lit the groom's or coachman's living quarters. The gable apex features half-timber detailing. The southwest elevation has two 2-leaf timber and glazed doors to the ground floor.

The building is constructed of bullfaced coursed red sandstone with white harling to the half-timbered sections. Windows are timber, with 15-pane sash and case to the original first floor openings. The pitched roofs are covered in graded slates with simple bargeboards; some modern rooflights have been added. A gable-head stack rises from the northeast gable, and a wall-head stack from the northwest elevation.

A random rubble boundary wall forms the boundary between the Coach House and Gardens and the public road. Just to the northwest of the building, this wall is broken by an opening containing a fretwork timber hand gate. To the southeast of the Coach House is an area of cobbled ground.
