Cort House

Cort House is a house built in 1700, which has been altered over time. It is constructed from slobbered rubble and has a slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays. The windows are modern and have plain stone surrounds. The left-hand ground-floor window features three lights with flat-faced mullions. The central bay contains a door with a cyma-moulded surround, and above it is a sandstone flag that serves as a hood. The stonework shows remnants of a removed drip course and blocked mullioned windows. There are gable chimneys on the house.

Inside, the left-hand room features a firehood bressumer with a blocked mortise for a heck post. A spice cupboard with a panelled door is located in the gable wall. The current fireplace is from the 18th century and has a shouldered design, complete with a moulded cornice mantel and fielded panels on the lintel. In the loft, two elaborately shaped and moulded king-post trusses made from re-used cruck timber can be seen. One of these rises from a tie beam and has raking queen struts, while the other rises from a collar. Both trusses have empty mortises for braces to the ridge.
