Appraisal
A well-proportioned coach house that, despite alterations in the late twentieth century, retains some semblance of its original form and early character. Classical elements, including a series of lunette window openings, significantly enhance the architectural value of the composition. The building is particular significance for its associations with The Hall, contributing to the group and setting qualities of the site.
