Description
Condover Court is a house that dates back to the 14th or 15th century and was remodeled in the 17th century, with significant additions and alterations made mainly in 1876-1877. The building features a timber frame, partly constructed using cruck techniques, with plaster and late 19th-century red brick infill, and has machine tile roofs.
The house has a hall that consists of four framed bays, with a cross-wing that projects to the right. There are late 19th-century additions at right angles to the rear on the left side of the hall range and behind the cross-wing. The structure is two storeys tall, with framing that is largely late 19th-century, featuring closely set vertical posts, middle rails, and short curved tension braces. However, a massive true cruck truss with curved tension braces is exposed at the gable end of the hall range.
The windows are all late 19th-century, including two full gabled dormers on either side of the hall range, and wooden mullioned and transomed windows on the ground floor. There are two windows to the left and one five-light window to the right of a central lean-to timber framed porch, which was also added in 1876-1877. The cross-wing has a five-light wooden mullion window on the jettied first floor and a mullioned and transomed bay window on the ground floor.
The hall range features two late 19th-century brick ridge stacks with dentilled bands, as well as a prominent moulded brick lateral stack with a datestone reading "R.C/1876-7" on the right wall of the cross-wing. The interior has not been inspected, but it is known to contain three true cruck trusses, two of which have Alcock apex type L2, and one exposed externally at the gable end of the hall range with apex type V.
