The Coach House

The Coach House, together with The Clocktower and The Old Barn, forms an L-shaped range of former service buildings, likely dating to the late 18th century. The buildings are constructed primarily of red brick with sandstone dressings and slate roofs, featuring dentilated eaves.

The main block, facing northeast, is two storeys high and eleven bays wide. The left-hand section, now The Coach House, originally comprised five bays and features four wide, depressed-arched carriage openings with brown brick voussoirs, dividing piers, limestone keystones and imposts, and modern boarded doors. A standard entrance with a flat limestone lintel and boarded door is located to the far left of this section. To the right is a five-bay stable section, culminating in a three-storey clocktower in the central bay. The ground floor of both sections has squat square windows with plain sandstone surrounds and modern casements. The Clocktower has a fine, reused Tudor-arched Jacobean entrance with chamfered and moulded jambs, an incorporated plaque bearing an indistinct Latin inscription, and a surmounting moulded pediment. Modern glazed doors are now in place. The ground floor windows are also fitted with reused Jacobean cross-windows, from which the mullions and transoms have been removed. The clocktower itself is in three stages, slightly advanced to the front and rear, and has coped and kneelered gables. A square, wooden cupola-type bellcote tops the roof, featuring arched openings on each face and a swept pyramidal slate roof with an iron weathervane. A depressed, chamfered-arched entrance gives access to the ground floor, with a recessed, ribbed and boarded door. Above this entrance, within a chamfered recess, is an applied oval tablet of Coade stone, bearing a wheatsheaf emblem in relief, dated 1803 and inscribed 'Coade and Sealy, London'. A two-light transomed window on the first floor has a heavily-moulded label that extends to the sides and returns. A circular clockface constructed of slate, with a moulded sandstone surround, sits in the gable apex.

Adjoining the main block to the southwest, at a right angle, is The Old Barn. It is built in a similar style, with its eastern gable extended to connect with the main block. The ground floor has a depressed-arched opening with a modern casement window within, with further similar flanking windows. Above this is a large, glazed sandstone oculus and, above that, an inset carved stone date plaque indicating 1863. Modern single-storey lean-to and catslide additions have been made to the long northwest side, also incorporating modern catslide dormers. A large, squat mid-19th century brick chimney, consisting of two stages with a plain cornice band, adjoins the Old Barn to the southwest. The Old Barn is partially screened by a low, modern brick wall.

The interior of the buildings was not inspected during the survey conducted in 1997.
