Description
The coach house and stable block served Y Plas. Dating to the 18th century, the complex comprises a large, square, lofted coach house flanked by single-storey stable wings. The construction is primarily rubble stone, with remnants of original stucco. Slate roofs cover all structures.
The central coach house features three oversized arches separated by squared stone pilasters with raised imposts. Above each arch is a large fanlight with tripartite small-paned glazing. The central arch on the ground floor is stuccoed and contains a flat-headed doorway. Matching flanks have tall, paired boarded timber doors with small-paned glazing in narrow rectangular overlights. The keystones above these arches are inscribed "17" to the left, "88" to the right, and "H + S" in the centre. A pyramid slate roof tops the central block, and features a four-sided timber clock turret with a miniature gabled slate roof and boarding in the gables; the painted clock face lacks numerals.
The stable wings originally had a broad, central flat-headed opening flanked by narrower arched openings. The southern wing retains the original door and window detail, and its slate roof to the front, though the rear is now covered with asbestos sheets. The northern wing is roofless, with the flanking outer arches remaining, but the central flat-headed opening is presumed to have collapsed. Surviving internal paired timber doors are partially collapsed, with red brick arched heads visible. The remaining sash windows also have red brick heads and are now in advanced decay.
The central block contains a single large ground floor chamber and a timber stair with a baluster rail leading to the upper storey. Interior walls are stucco rendered throughout. The clock mechanism remains, but is badly corroded. The upper storey has boarded timber walls dividing it into three areas, with a central housing for the clock. Large roof trusses with bolted frames and cross beams maximise loadbearing efficiency of the walls. A small, long first floor rear room is set slightly lower. The southern range has been largely altered internally with a 1950s suspended ceiling (now largely collapsed) and animal pens of similar date which have been removed. The northern range is now roofless.
