Description

The George and Dragon and Number 83 (Court Cottage) is a public house and dwelling built in the mid-17th century, with alterations and additions from the 19th century. The building features coursed, squared sandstone that is now partly rendered, topped with a stone slate roof. It has a double-depth plan with extensions at the front right, right return, and rear left.

The structure is two storeys high and was originally designed with an attic. The east front has twin gables and retains many early features. There are three first-floor windows, large quoins, and a chamfered plinth that steps down at the central doorway. The doorway has a 20th-century part-glazed door set in a moulded, quoined surround, topped with a Tudor-arched lintel and keystone. The windows are double-chamfered and mullioned; the window to the right, originally a four-light window, now only retains the central mullion. To the left of the door is a large casement window in an altered surround, with the sill lowered and a concrete lintel. A continuous dripmould steps up over the door lintel.

On the first floor, there is a single-light window above the door, an intact three-light window to the right, and a casement window in an altered surround to the left, all featuring dripstones. The attic has blind two-light windows with dripstones. The gable copings are made of ashlar and feature shaped kneelers.

The courtyard front has two first-floor windows and is rendered. The plinth steps down at the doorway to the right of centre and at the position of a former doorway to the left. There is a six-panel door in a chamfer-stopped surround with an arched lintel and remains of a keystone, although the surround is obscured by rendering. The flanking windows have projecting sills, 16-pane sashes, and plain lintels. A large iron lantern hangs over the door, supported by a decorative cast-iron bracket. The first-floor windows match those on the ground floor. There is a brick end stack to the right and another stack to the left, set behind the ridge. A range of buildings attached to the front right is not of special interest.
