Church Farm Court And Boundary Wall

Church Farm Court is a farmhouse, now divided into three dwellings, dating to the 18th and 19th centuries, with alterations in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of brick, rendered and colourwashed, with thatched and plain tile roofs. Brick ridge and end stacks are present. It is a two-story structure with a long, south-facing front of five main windows, arranged in a long plan with a wing to the rear on the right.

The south front, to the left, features two 3-light casements with a round window above and between them, and above, two eyebrow dormers with 2-light casements, all belonging to No.1, along with the west gable end which has two 20th-century casements. Below a central ridge stack on the left, a half-glazed 19th-century door is flanked to the left by a fixed light and, to the right, by two 3-light casements on both floors, all belonging to No.2. To the far right is a further 3-light casement belonging to No.3. All fenestration is late 20th century. The east gable has a central lean-to addition, flanked to the right by a lean-to glazed conservatory and, to the left, by a square casement with two square casements above, all belonging to No.3; this too has late 20th-century fenestration. The rear elevation features two 19th-century single-storey gabled additions flanked by single-storey flat-roofed additions (including entrances to Nos.1 and 2). No.2 has two 20th-century eyebrow dormers and casements below. An open porch with a slate roof provides access to No.3 from the inner side of the rear wing. C20 windows are present throughout.

Internally, No.1 reveals a chamfered bridging beam and an altered open fireplace with a bressumer and salt/spice cupboards. Heavy purlins are visible in the bedrooms. No.2 has renewed ground floor ceilings but retains a roof structure of heavy purlins, old rafters, and a heavy ridge piece, which seemingly extends the length of the main roof. No.3 features bridging beams, an old door frame, and, on the east exterior (now within the conservatory), a partly altered circular bread oven with a shallow vaulted roof. The 19th-century section includes match board panelling, plank doors, and a bolted king-post truss roof.

A boundary wall, constructed of brick, runs along the front, with gabled brick coping and a central gateway. No.4, the adjoining dwelling to the north, is not included in the listing.
