Description
The Coach House, built in 1802, is a large complex of stables and coach houses that encloses a square courtyard. It is constructed of rubble with slate hipped roofs. The formal front features a two-storey, three-bay central block flanked by single-storey, three-bay wings. To the right of the central block and on the ridge of the left wing, there are dressed stone stacks. The central block has three 20th-century metal casements on the first floor, with ashlar heads that include keystones. Below, there are 12-pane hornless sash windows with cambered heads and stone voussoirs. A central round archway, which once led to the courtyard, is now filled with 20th-century glazing and features dressed stone voussoirs and a projecting keystone that bears the Williams family shield and the date 1802.
The wings extend to form the courtyard ranges, each with a central round arched doorway and flanking 12-pane hornless sashes, all featuring cambered heads, stone voussoirs, and projecting imposts for the doors. The left door has an intact fanlight with simple radiating glazing bars. There are 20th-century dormers on the right wing.
Inside the square inner courtyard, the rear of the main block mirrors the front, with 20th-century glazing and an original 12-pane hornless sash in the upper right. There are single-storey, three-bay hip-roofed stable ranges on both the right and left, each originally featuring round arched doorways and flanking thermal windows with stone voussoirs. The left wing remains intact with a boarded door, a fanlight with radiating glazing bars, and a similarly glazed thermal window to the right, although the left window has recently been elongated. The windows on the right wing have also been altered in the same manner, with the arched doorhead replaced by a flat head (reusing the old voussoirs) to accommodate a large dormer above.
At the rear, there is a single-storey coach-house range made of finer coursed stone with a hipped roof, featuring six round-headed arches supported by square piers. The central four arches have pale ashlar voussoirs, while the others are made of native grey stone. There are boarded paired doors.
