History
Coachmans Cottage was built in the 1840s to house the coachmen working on the estate. It appears it was designed to house two families in attached dwellings. The design of the Coachmans Cottage continues the picturesque theme of the main house and stables but is much more simple in its detailing reflecting its lesser importance in the hierarchy of the estate. It does, however, give an insight into the status of the coachman compared to the other workers’ cottages.
