The coach house, stables and servant's lodgings of the former Bishop's Palace, now independent school building of the King's School (qv). Dated 1861 on rainwater heads, with C20 alterations. By Ewan Christian. Ashlar and squared rubble in courses, slate roof with three bands of white slates on each slope, decorative ridge tiles, coped gables with moulded kneelers, two tall brick ridge stacks. In Tudor style. A long range with the former residential accommodation in the centre extending into a short cross-wing on the south side. EXTERIOR: single storey and attic; coped gables with moulded kneelers; on the north front irregular fenestration; in the gable-end wall of the rear wing on the ground floor two two-light stone-framed and central mullion casements and a similar casement in the gable.
