Description

The Coachhouse and attached stable ranges at Buckland Hall date from the 19th century and feature a central range with two end wings set at right angles, with the right wing being lower. The building is constructed of rubble stone with tooled stone dressings and has a low-pitched hipped Welsh slate roof, characterized by overhanging eaves and low ridge stacks with narrow cornices.

The central bay includes a seven-window range at the first floor, featuring multipane Breconshire hoppers beneath cambered heads with voussoirs and narrow sills. The ground floor has a series of seven elliptical arched carriage bays, most of which have been partly filled in with later windows; two bays retain square-headed boarded double doors. To the left, there is a cambered arched pedestrian doorway with a multipane overlight, and an arched window to the right.

The left wing, which served as the former tack room and stable, has similar cambered arched windows and doorways. Stepped down to the right is a single-storey bay and cross wing, which has been converted into a garage, featuring similar doors and windows. The rear of the left stable wing has three cambered arched hoppers on the first floor and steps leading to a wide boarded loft doorway; the ground floor also has hoppers under cambered arched lintels, with a cross wing added to create additional garages.

The rear of the coachhouse range facing the hillside includes a lean-to and a range of ten hoppers, some of which are blocked or altered, along with a separate bay at the far left end that has a doorway and wide cambered arched openings.

Inside, the building retains flagged floors, and at the left end, there is a cast iron grate with glazed cupboards on either side, boarded panelling, and one stall fitting.
