Wharton Court

Wharton Court is a house dated 1603, with a porch added around 1659. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar detailing and features a hipped, steep-pitched plain tile roof, along with four brick corner stacks on stone bases. The building has four storeys and a cellar, with a two-window range that was formerly three. The first and second floors have moulded wood mullion and transom lights with vertical glazing bars and single small metal casements. There are three two-light mullions with internal shutters and moulded wood eaves adorned with pineapple pendants.

The two-storey porch includes an ashlar mullion and transom window above a moulded arch with a keyblock, supported by attached columns on both storeys. It features decorative bands and a balustrade, with a plank door in a moulded case leading to the second floor, along with side openings and internal niches. The main entrance has a studded plank door, with an 8/8 sash window to the right and early 18th-century twin sashes to the left, set in altered openings under ashlar arches.

On the right side, there are two tiers of similar windows with 8/8 sashes on the ground floor, while the left side has similar fenestration and detail, along with a 19th-century single-storey service wing with a lean-to at the rear. This side features a plank door with a simple hood and a mullion and transom casement under a brick segmental arch. The rear of the house has three tiers of similar windows, some of which are part-blocked, and a central studded plank door with a barred overlight in a moulded case, topped with a simple flat hood. The returned bands and eaves detail are consistent throughout.

Inside, there is an open-well staircase with turned balusters and newels, which have ornamental finials and pendants.
