Description
The former coach-house and its attached screen wall are located to the west of Graig House. They follow the curved line of a grassed driveway that leads from the lane near Cross Ash Post Office, providing a screen from the site of former farm buildings to the north.
The coach-house is constructed from red sandstone rubble, with the upper level of its south front roughcast and painted white. It features a slate roof and has a tripartite plan, consisting of a rectangular two-storey central section oriented north-south, facing south, flanked by set-back full-height lean-to wings on each side. A plain stone band runs across the entire façade at ground-floor level. The central section has a shallow-pitched hipped roof with overhanging boarded eaves and a square louvred ventilator at the ridge topped by a weathervane shaped like a cantering horse. The ground floor includes a large basket-arched wagon doorway, which is now closed with altered wooden doors, while the first floor has a wide lunette with a stone sill and altered glazing. The left wing features a square-headed garage doorway with gauged stone voussoirs, while the right wing is mostly hidden by vegetation.
The screen wall, made of thin rubble laid to courses, is divided into two roughly equal sections by a two-storey round-headed feature made of red brick, which has remnants of render. A stone band crosses between the levels, with a 12-pane sashed window at ground floor and a round-headed window with altered glazing above. The purpose of this feature is unknown. The section of the screen wall to the right, which connects to the house, stands approximately 4 metres high with a flat stone coping and includes a two-centred arched doorway near the house. The left section, linking to the coach-house, is mostly obscured by vegetation and is now lower than the other section, suggesting it may have partially collapsed.
The interior was not inspected during the re-survey.
