Description

Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 15th century, with an east wing that was remodeled during the 16th or 17th century when a west cross-wing was added. The cross-wing underwent further alterations in the late 19th or early 20th century, which included changes to the roof and interior. The timber-framed core is largely refaced with sandstone rubble, while the 16th or 17th century wing is completely rendered and features 20th-century surface timbering. The roof of the wing is half-hipped and tiled, while the earlier wing has a roof made of part Welsh slate and part stone slate.

The earlier hall wing is possibly three bays long and aligned east to west, with a former through-passage that is now partially blocked. The later cross-wing adjoins at the west end and features a large stack with a bread oven at the junction with the cross-wing. The main entrance is now located on the west face of the cross-wing, with a subsidiary entrance to the south in the earlier wing, which is the site of the former through-passage.

On the west front, the building has two storeys with attics and cellars, and it features three irregularly spaced three-light windows. To the left of the center, there is a late 19th or early 20th century gabled porch on the ground floor with a contemporary ledged door. The south front shows the gable end of the cross-wing to the left, which has a skylight to the attic below the half hip of the roof and one three-light window below it. The earlier wing to the right has a small central three-light window situated between the eaves and a doorway. The ground floor includes two-light windows that flank a square-headed doorway with a ledged door, and part of the circular bread oven protrudes to the left at the junction with the cross-wing.

Inside, the upper section of one truss is partially visible in the earlier wing, featuring cusped principals and possibly further decorated members. The inserted floor from the 16th century has chamfered beams, and there are additional chamfered beams in the later cross-wing, which also contains an unusual decorative bracket in the central room.
