Description
4 and 5 Harley Court are houses that feature an early 18th-century front with a 17th-century core. The buildings are constructed of brick and have a hipped slate roof with three parallel gables and a diagonal brick ridge stack. They rise three storeys above a cellar and have a two-window range. The mid-19th-century windows are 8/8 sashes set under segmental arches, with a storey band above. The houses also feature a 4/8 sash and a 6/6 casement, and the parapet adds to their profile.
The entrances are located to the left and right, each featuring a six-fielded-panel door with ornamental rectangular fanlights, framed by moulded architraves and topped with simple moulded flat hoods. Flanking the entrances are two 8/8 sashes under segmental arches, with a storey band continuing above. To the right, there is a wing with an altered roofline that includes a large 8/8 sash with a Gothic glazed head under a semicircular arch, alongside a blocked opening and a buttress, with two additional blocked openings above and a continuing storey band. A brick lateral stack is also present.
The left side of the building is finished in stucco and features two casements from the 19th and 20th centuries on the second floor.
Inside No. 5, there is a mutilated late 18th-century dogleg staircase with turned balusters and a panelled dado. The second floor has three two-panel doors with architraves, while the first floor features five two-panel doors and one four-panel door, with exposed timber framing that includes a collared truss and moulded wall plate. The ground floor showcases 17th-century panelling and panelled doors, along with a 14th-century hall that has moulded tie-beams, arch braces, pierced cusped wind braces, and billeted plates. There are four four-panel doors and one two-panel door with architraves. The cellar contains plank doors, exposed close-studding, oak steps, cobbled floors, medieval stonework, and an alcoved stack base.
In No. 4, the interior features an early 19th-century splat baluster dogleg staircase with a panelled dado. The second floor includes an early 19th-century fireplace and four-panel doors. The first floor likely has timber framing and four-panel doors. The ground floor has two-panel and four-panel doors, a panelled dado, and a 19th-century corner fireplace. The cellar is partly stone-lined and has timber framing.
