Description
Bockleton Court is a farmhouse with a late 16th-century timber-framed core, significantly altered in the 18th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone with a painted timber frame on a stone rubble plinth, featuring rendered infill panels to the rear and side. It has plain-tile roofs with 19th-century ornamental bargeboards to the front and sides. Numerous brick stacks are present, some with distinctive double shafts arranged in diagonal and star patterns.
The plan is L-shaped, consisting of a main range with projecting gables and a rear wing. The south front has a five-window range, with advanced gabled bays forming windows 2 and 4. A raised attic gable is present in the right-hand bay. The windows are predominantly casements, with 3-light windows to the first floor, a 2-light window to the attic, and 2- and 3-mullion and transom windows at ground floor. All windows have restored leaded lights. The advanced bay to the right features a chamfered segmental-arched opening to an integral porch, incorporating a double ovolo- and fillet-moulded door frame with run-out stops, a boarded oak door with nail studs and heavy iron strap hinges, and side benches with 16th-century-style panelling. The return gable end to the left features a central stone stack with a first-floor hoodmould and ashlar coped offsets. A section of timber-frame construction sits beneath stone, displaying a moulded bressumer, girding beam, jowled post, straight brace, middle rails, studs, and a jettied tie beam with vertical studs at attic level.
The rear of the building shows close-studded timber framing, with a visible jetty to the gable end to the right featuring a jetty brace and girding beam. A stone gabled wall rises above the adjacent eaves line, containing a 2-light casement and a projecting stone stack. A tiled roofed stone outshuts masks the rear at centre and hides other original features. The advanced stone bay to the rear mirrors the front, featuring an ovolo-moulded oak mullion window with leaded lights at the first floor and a 2-light casement in the attic. A projecting rear wing covers the left side.
The west side of the rear wing features a two-storey, two-window range with casements to the first floor, only the left window being leaded. It also contains a chamfered 2-mullion window with partial leaded glass and a boarded door in a plain oak frame, as well as a boarded cellar entrance. The main range's right return gable and the rear wing's east side display further casements and a projecting tiled gabled storage extension.
The interior retains exposed ceiling beams and timber framing in the sitting room and kitchen.
