Description
Mottram Court House, now the Longdendale Information and Advice Office, was built in the second quarter of the 19th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a hipped slate roof. The building has a layout of one by three bays, with the courtroom located on the first floor above what was originally a carriage house, which now serves as the information office.
The exterior includes a stone plinth and quoins, a first floor sill band, and a stone eaves cornice. To the left, there is a four-panel door with a square-cut surround, a fanlight, and a keystone. Flanking this door are two windows—one small and one large—along with another window on the first floor. All of these windows have round heads, keystones, and are fitted with sash windows. There are also two blocked round-arched carriage entries on the left side, each adorned with carved keystones. A window and door on the right side mirror the features on the left. The building has a lateral chimney stack. Additionally, a drinking fountain is located at the front, commemorating the installation of a piped water supply in 1888.
