Fawley Court

Fawley Court is a country house with an early 16th century core, which was largely rebuilt during the mid-17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the 20th century. The house features a timber-framed core with some remaining wattle-and-daub infill, a sandstone rubble plinth, and a west front faced with sandstone ashlar, topped with tiled roofs. The building has an irregular plan that includes a hall and a cross-wing, with the main entrance located to the south of the center. It has two storeys, attics, and cellars.

The west front displays two string courses, a raised parapet, and four square-headed mullioned windows with three elliptical-headed lights, along with a similar two-light window to the right. On the ground floor, there are two canted bays to the right and center, featuring an embattled parapet and a 4-light mullioned and transomed window on the main face, with single lights on the two flanking sides. The central bay is flanked by a 3-light mullioned and transomed window, and there is a projecting porch to the right with a semi-circular headed outer doorway, a moulded label and imposts, and a ledged and studded door with a wicket.

The east front reveals timber-framing, with close-studding above a sandstone rubble lower storey. Decorative herringbone framing in the central gable was removed in September 1985. Inside, the house has been altered but retains a wide stone fireplace with a 4-centred arched head and moulded jambs in the hall, along with 17th-century dado panelling also in the hall. A room to the north retains fragments of 17th-century glass in the windows, although the panelling and fireplace previously noted by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments have been removed. There is a 17th-century staircase with turned balusters, but the south-east staircase mentioned by the Royal Commission has also been removed.
