Description
Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with a late 17th century wing at the rear. It is constructed of coursed grey and yellow sandstone rubble and features a plain tile roof. The building is arranged in an L-plan, with two storeys in the main section and a one-storey wing that has a gable-lit attic. There are integral brick stacks at both ends and a brick lateral stack at the rear wing, which includes a projecting bread oven.
The farmhouse has three bays, with two- and three-light wooden casements. The central door has four flush panels and a three-part rectangular overlight, and it is sheltered by a 19th-century rustic gabled timber porch. The gable end of the rear wing features a four-light chamfered wooden mullioned attic window with leaded casements, although the left-hand pair is blocked with brick. To the right, there is a two-light chamfered wooden mullioned ground-floor window, with the right-hand light blocked with stone, and a boarded door to the left.
Inside, the front range has chamfered beams, and the left-hand room on the ground floor, which may have been the former kitchen, contains a large open fireplace with a chamfered lintel. The end room of the rear wing has large reused chamfered ceiling beams.
