Description
The Coach House at Penlan is a 1.5-storey structure built from coursed rubble masonry, featuring a moderately pitched new slate roof with plain eaves and close verges. The building has stone stacks and water tabling, with slates pitched to form flues.
On the first floor, there are two narrow later 19th-century gabled dormers with rubble cheeks and close verges. The windows are Victorian sash style, with similar sash windows on the ground floor, all set beneath stone lintels. There is also a two-light casement window in the center, with a doorway alongside that has a plank door and stone lintels.
The right end elevation of the building drops vertically down to the River Arran and includes a small loft window to the right of the gable end.
Adjoining the left side is a single-storey coach house, constructed in a similar style. It features a stone stack at the left end and water tabling, with a window set below the eaves to the right. Broad double doors are located to the left, topped with a six-pane toplight beneath the eaves.
