Court Farmhouse

Farmhouse. It likely dates from the early 17th century, with extensions and improvements made in the early 18th century. The original 17th-century section is timber-framed with brick infill panels, while the 18th-century additions are brick, all now painted, and have plain tiled roofs with external chimney stacks to the south side, east, and north ends. The building is arranged in an "L" shape, with a three-bay timber-framed section aligned east/west, extended by one bay at each end, and a 18th-century pavilion wing to the north side of the west end. The 17th-century section is single-storey and attic, rising to two storeys within the east 18th-century former stable extension. The 18th-century wing is two storeys and attic over a cellar.

The east-facing elevation, which fronts the road, has a 1:1:2 window arrangement. The left-hand gable has a three-light wooden mullioned window on the first floor, above a central 20th-century stable door. A three-light 19th-century casement window is above a late 19th-century four-panelled door with a bracketed canopy. This links to the two-window pavilion section, which has plat bands between the storeys, square-headed window openings with shouldered corners containing three cross-casements (the first floor to the left and the attic window openings being blind on this elevation), a dentilled brick eaves cornice and a hipped roof (gabled to the rear) with a large end stack to the north.

The north elevation of the 17th-century section features two gabled dormers with leaded casements above exposed timber framing. The timbering is three panels high with two diagonal braces, within which are three windows divided into two groups, under plank weather boards. The left window is a two-light casement, and adjacent to the right is a four-light wooden mullioned window with ovolo internal mouldings. The right-hand window is a 4-light 19th-century wrought iron casement. To the left, the 18th-century stable extension has a dentilled brick eaves cornice.

Inside, the principal roofs of the 17th-century section have deep stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. There are two 18th-century six-panelled doors in the passage between the two wings. The staircase in the present kitchen at the west end of the 17th-century section has eleven early 17th-century turned balusters. Two ledged doors upstairs have two central superimposed fielded panels in moulded surrounds facing the entrance sides.
