The Coach House, Pwll-y-Pant

The Coach House comprises two parallel wings forming a double-depth range, built of whitewashed rubble stone with a stone tile roof. The rear wing is divided into two units, with a lower roof at its northern end. The two-storey front wing is slightly battered and features the wooden frame of a former clock above its southern gable.

The front wing’s western-facing yard elevation has a segmental-headed sash window with a brick surround on the left, followed by a lower blocked window. A central inserted doorway sits above the blocked round arch of an earlier opening. To the right is a blocked carriage doorway with an elliptical arch. A tall dormer window, added in the mid- to late 19th century, is centrally placed and features small-pane glazing with a top-hung casement, flanked by timber-framed panels. To its right are two small casements, and to its left, a window beneath the wall plate with small-pane glazing and a top-hung casement.

The southern gable end has external brick and rubble stone steps with flagstone treads leading to a blocked doorway. A three-light stepped first-floor window has chamfered mullions and a transom. The rear wing’s southern gable end has a blocked vehicular door under a wooden lintel, with a boarded-up segmental-headed window above and a blocked window below and to the right of the doorway. The gable ends create a continuous facade, separated by a stone boundary wall in the centre.

The eastern side of the rear wing is two-storey high and has three boarded-up segmental-headed windows, with a rubble stone projection covered in vegetation against the northern unit.

Attached to the northern gable end of the front wing is a lower projection, its roof pitched at a right angle to the main axis.

The front wing is two-storey high and is divided into three rooms by rubble stone cross walls. Stairs and the first floor were inaccessible during inspection in November 1998. The rubble stone dividing wall between the wings has four low round arches, with one blocked, and two blocked windows above them. The rear wing is open to the roof and has machine-sawn trusses. Against the northern gable end is a large hearth, likely for a blacksmith. A doorway in the eastern wall leads into a vaulted chamber within the projection on its eastern side, flanked by blocked windows.
