Description
Nash Court is a house that was originally a college and was restored back to a house in 1994. It dates from the mid to late 18th century and is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings. The building features a hipped tiled roof with a brick parapet and a brick cornice with a dentil course. There are brick ridge stacks and integral brick eaves stacks on the extensions. The house has an L-shaped plan with later rear extensions.
The exterior is three storeys tall with a cellar. The east front has a three-storey, five-window range of 6/6 sash windows, with 3/3 sashes on the second floor, all featuring gauged brick lintels. The central first-floor window has a pedimented stone surround with Tuscan pilasters and an open pediment. There is a central projecting porch supported by four Tuscan columns, leading to a plain pilastered wood doorcase. To the right, there is a two-storey extension with two 6/6 first-floor sashes and a ground-floor bay window that has two 6/6 sashes at the front and a single sash on each side.
The south front also has three storeys and a five-window range of 6/6 sashes, with 3/3 sashes on the second floor. There are ground-floor bay windows in the center and to the right, featuring 6/6 sashes on each face, except for a door with a top-light on the west face. The left side at ground floor has been rebuilt with a 20th-century glazed door and a 6/6 sash window. The west gable end features four-light casements with brick segmental lintels. The rear of the L-shaped range mostly has renewed 6/6 sashes with brick segmental lintels and 3/3 sashes on the second floor.
Inside, the south-west room has a moulded dado and cornice, which are also found in various other ground- and first-floor rooms. The north-west room features 17th-century-style oak panelling and a heavy carved overmantel. Extending to the rear is a service and stable wing that is two storeys high, with a hipped tiled roof and dentil course eaves. The roof is topped by a raised square tower with a leaded cupola and weather-vane, and there is a clock on the east face. The windows on the east side have brick segmental lintels and renewed multi-pane casements.
