Description

Caradoc Court is a country house that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries and was significantly remodeled in the mid-19th century. The building features a timber frame, limestone and sandstone ashlar, with tiled roofs and diagonal shafts to the stacks. It has a roughly rectangular plan oriented almost east to west, with the entrance front facing south. The house has a cellar, two storeys, and an attic.

The south elevation displays a series of windows arranged in a 1:3:1:2:1 pattern, featuring mullions and transoms. It includes one central and two outer Dutch gables. The left gable has a three-light window in the attic and two storeys of semi-circular bay windows, each with nine lights, the upper bay adorned with a balustrade. A 19th-century porch is positioned to the left of the centre and features a strap-work frieze. Above the porch, there is a Dutch attic gablet with a two-light window. The central section has a two-storey canted bay window and a two-light attic window in the Dutch gable. To the right of the centre, just to the left of the right-hand outer gable, is a blocked moulded four-centred arch, which was reported by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England as leading into a small courtyard. The right-hand gable features a two-light attic window and three-light windows on the lower storeys, all with hoodmoulds. Each of the Dutch gables is topped with three moulded finials at the apex and shoulders.

Attached to the right-hand side is a 19th-century wing that is recessed behind the right gable front, which includes a small yard accessed through a pair of gate-piers with oval finials. The rear elevation, facing north, has three gables at the centre, showcasing close-studded timber-framing and moulded bressummers, all of which have been much restored. Although the interior was not inspected, it has been reported to contain 17th-century plaster ceilings and panelling, with painted panels in the attic. The small rear courtyard is covered with glass supported by early 20th-century open-work girders. In the south-west corner of the courtyard, there is a small wooden tower, likely built around 1900, topped with a fish-scale cupola.
