Coates Castle is constructed of stuccoed stone with crenulated gables, buttresses and Gothic style turrets.

The property is set well back from Coates Lane down its own drive, past woodland and ancient trees and surrounded by the Barlavington Estate land and beautiful open countryside which offers exclusive access for walking to the occupants of the castle.

This property shares fine, castellated architectural features derived from the main house.

It was most probably the residence of the head groom/coachman and his family when Coates Castle was a fully-staffed estate.
