Former coachhouse and butler's quarters for Shielbridge House with crowstepped gables and a lantern tower bellcote. The building rises to a single storey with a crenellated parapet and a steeply pitched slate roof. The front elevation features large round-arched vehicle entrances, that to the centre surmounted by a shaped pediment.

Shielbridge House, demolished 1951, was built for CD Rudd by architect Sidney Mitchell in an Arts and Crafts fashion around 1900. A new rock garden down to the River Shiel was also created complete with pools, exotic shrubs, conifers and South African blue gum trees. (Mary Miers)
