Description

Swanstone Court, along with its attached outbuildings and hop kiln, is a house that dates back to the 14th century, with extensions from the 17th century, partial rebuilding in the early 18th century, and further extensions in the mid-19th century, along with some restoration in the late 20th century. The structure is timber-framed with painted brick and rendered infill set on a coursed rubble plinth, and it has a slate roof.

The building is arranged in an L-shape, featuring a solar cross-wing that extends to the north and a hall range to the east, which was extended in the 17th century. There is a 17th-century outbuilding to the south that is connected to the main building by a 20th-century range. The north front of the house is blind on the left side, followed by a two-storey block faced in rubble that has two windows: a two-light casement on the left and a three-light casement on the right. The ground floor has a two-light casement on the left and a tripartite sash on the right, both under segmental heads with keystones. The entrance, located to the left of center, features a 19th-century gabled canopy with trellised sides and a half-glazed door. The solar cross-wing projects to the right and has a boxed sash window on each floor, with a 16-pane window on the first floor and a 20-pane window on the ground floor. The exposed framing of the cross-wing consists of five square panels high on the north gable and six square panels high on the side walls. The gable is adorned with cusped angle struts and two cusped raking struts above. The 17th-century range to the left has three square panels high. At the rear of this range, there is a circular brick hop kiln topped with a conical roof. The outbuilding features three square panels high with an external rubble stack.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that the west wall of the hall retains original framed panels with large quatrefoils, and the roof of the solar range is cusped throughout.
