Lower Court

This is a farmhouse dating back to the 14th century, with substantial additions and alterations in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble, with some areas revealing remnants of a timber-frame structure, and has a hipped tile roof. The original 14th-century house remains in a T-plan layout, consisting of a probable hall range of four bays aligned north-east/south-west, and a three-bay cross-wing at the south-west end. An early 18th-century range, one room wide, was added to the north-west of the hall range. The site of a former north-east cross-wing is now occupied by a gabled range, likely from the early 18th century, and which formerly housed cowhouses on the ground floor. A main stack is located on the former external north-west wall of the hall.

The garden front features a hipped roof with a central gable and an irregular arrangement of windows. The upper floor has five windows: two with flat stone heads over timber cross casements; a central three-light casement under the gable with a brick segmental head; and a single light casement and a timber cross casement, both under segmental heads. On the ground floor, a 20th-century square bay window and door are sheltered by a lean-to canopy on the left, and another 20th-century square bay window on the right. To the extreme right is a two-light casement under a segmental head. A gabled cross-wing, set back from the main part of the front, incorporates sliding doors leading to a garage; the main house entrance is to the right of the garage and separated from the rest of the front by a garden wall. A stone bearing the graffiti "I L G " is set into the wall to the left of the door, possibly having been reset.

The north-east elevation reveals the side of the cross-wing, which includes lofts above the former cowhouses. The upper floor is timber-framed with brick infill, composed of two square panels per section. The ground floor is of rubble construction with three entrances. The rear elevation exhibits some exposed large square framing and a gable truss with queen struts to the collar.

Inside, the roof of the hall range, visible in the roof space, features intermediate trusses with arch braces to the collars, V-struts above, and trefoils in the centre; quatrefoils are also present. The purlins are moulded, and there are two levels of cusped wind braces. The end trusses have collars and queen struts, retaining wattle-and-daub infill. The cross-wing has a simpler roof style featuring one set of cusped wind braces, with intermediate trusses not visible. A first-floor level exists within the cross-wing. The roof structure suggests a possible late 14th or early 15th-century origin for the hall, as opposed to a mid-14th-century dating.

About 20 metres south-east of the house, in the south-west wall of a barn, a stone is set with a low-relief interlace pattern, possibly dating from the 10th or 11th century.
