Deloraine Court East And Deloraine Court West

Deloraine Court East (number 5) and Deloraine Court West (number 6) are a group of houses, incorporating fabric from around 1300 and an undercroft from the 12th century. The building was remodelled in the early 17th century, around 1660, with 18th-century additions and early 19th-century alterations. The construction uses dressed stone with ashlar dressings, and has plain tile and pantile roofs with various stacks.

The south range, dating from the 18th century, is two storeys plus a basement and attics, with five bays. The east front features a wooden doorcase with a pediment and hanging lamp, leading to a six-panel door with glazed panels. Four twelve-pane sashes are located to the right of the door, with five smaller sashes above. The right-hand upper sash has an iron balcony. Two segmental-headed dormers are situated above. The basement features a large central sliding sash, flanked by a plain sash to the left and a plain doorcase with a six-panel door to the right.

The former great hall, spanning two storeys and four bays, has a brick rear wall and ridge stacks, with a first-floor band. Two large fifteen-pane sashes are centrally positioned, flanked by a fielded six-panel door in a plain surround to the left, and a projection (one to each side) with coped gables. The left projection includes a twelve-pane sash, while the right contains a half-glazed panelled door and a sash above. Reset heads are incorporated into the left dormer.

The east wing has a rebuilt brick side wall stack and a coped south gable. On the east side, a doorway is flanked to the right by a three-light casement, and to the left by a larger three-light casement with glazing bars. A smaller sash with glazing bars is located further along. Above the door is a three-light casement with wooden mullions and leaded glazing, with two segment-headed twelve-pane sashes to the left. Gables have irregular fenestration.

The interior features a 12th-century undercroft with three piers featuring scallop capitals. A panelled room on the first floor of the west wing is dated 1602 and includes a 12th-century chimney and a late 15th-century arched fireplace. A C15 queen post truss roof with wind braces is also present. The southwest range houses a C14 sculptured reredos. The former great hall, ceiled in 1663, has a 1300 collared rafter roof, and remains of an early 17th-century balustraded gallery at the west end. On the ground floor is an apsidally-ended dining room dating from around 1800. The east wing, reroofed around 1660, contains a 1400 kitchen fireplace on the ground floor and a room with rearranged panelling and an overmantel from the early 17th century on the first floor.
