Once the former carriage yard to Chevet Hall, The Coach House, now an exquisite four bedroomed home, is the centre piece property of a select development set around a formal courtyard.
Chevet Hall (mentioned in the Domesday book) was the Baronial seat of the Pilkington Family. It fell into disrepair and was demolished after the 2nd World War but the original stable block remains.
The Pilkington Family employed the famous architect, John Carr renowned for designing Harewood House and Nostell Priory, to design The Coach House and stable block in the 1800’s. It has all the hallmarks of John Carr, designed to be an ‘eye catcher’ in an elevated position, overlooking the sprawling 95-hectare parkland of Newmillerdam Country Park.
