Description
Kilpeck Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been subdivided into two tenements. It dates from around 1600, with later additions and alterations from the 18th century and early to mid-19th century. The original structure is timber-framed, featuring a combination of wattle-and-daub and painted brick infill set on a sandstone rubble plinth. The later modifications include sandstone rubble and red brick, with roofs that are partly tiled and partly covered with 20th-century concrete tiles.
The farmhouse was originally built in an L-shape and has been extended to the southeast and northeast, with gable-end and lateral stacks. It has parts that are two storeys high and parts that are single-storey with attics, particularly on the southwest front. The timber-framed wing on the left has four square panels from the sill to the wall-plate and includes one 2-light casement window, with a ledged door in the angle to the right.
A gabled wing projects forward and features a 2-light casement window on the first floor and a 3-light window on the ground floor. The central block has two gabled dormer windows and two 3-light casement windows, with a similar window on the ground floor to the left of a lean-to porch that has a part-glazed door. To the right, there is a gabled projecting wing with one 2-light casement window on the first floor and a similar 3-light window on the ground floor.
Later additions to the rear include a granary at the northeast and an extension at the northwest end, which has a part hipped roof and was originally used as a cider house. The interiors of both parts of the house were inaccessible during the resurvey in July 1986, but it is believed that they retain a staircase with pierced and shaped balusters, as noted by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England.
