Description
This is a rectangular coachhouse and stable block, likely dating from the 18th century, situated at the Vicarage. It is built of rubble construction and has a slate roof with deep overhangs and plain bargeboards. A two-stage chimney, constructed of slate ashlar with a moulded capping, sits centrally on the roof.
The main, south-east facing elevation features a large, central coach entrance with original boarded double doors and a large slate lintel. Above this entrance is a boarded loading bay door set within a gabled dormer that also has projecting verges and plain bargeboards. To the right of the coach entrance is a window with a slate lintel and 8-pane glazing, likely of 20th-century origin. To the left of the entrance is a similar window, situated beyond a narrower entrance with a boarded door. The north-east gable, facing the driveway, has a similar large entrance, now with modern boarded doors and a concrete lintel. A conventional entrance with a lintel and boarded door is situated to the left. A 6-pane casement window of 20th-century origin is positioned in the gable apex. The south-west gable has a plain, modern window in its apex and modern bargeboards.
Adjoining the coachhouse to the south-west are rubble garden walls, approximately 3 metres high. These walls enclose a large, roughly rectangular garden area to the south and west, curving towards the coachhouse on the north-east side at a height of approximately 2.5 metres. Within this return stretch is an open entrance. The walls continue to the north-east to adjoin the service complex of the main house, and connect to a roofless former pigsty block to the south-west, before continuing northwest to reconnect with the coachhouse block, with a further open entrance in the centre of the final stretch.
