Description

The courtyard walls and outbuilding east of Blithfield Hall date from the early 19th century and are constructed of brick, plastered and lined to resemble ashlar. The courtyard is roughly rectangular, bordered by walls to the north, south, and east, with an outbuilding located in the north-east corner and Blithfield Hall to the west. The entrance from the outer courtyard is situated in the south wall.

On the south front, buttresses flank a central 4-centred carriage arch topped with a crenellated parapet. To the left and right, there are slightly lower crenellated walls, each featuring 4-centred doorways also flanked by buttresses. The north wall and outbuilding, viewed from the south, include a carriage arch positioned to the right of centre, which has a raised key and a plain parapet. To the left, there is a wall that appears to be two storeys high with three bays, while the outbuilding to the right is also two storeys tall, with a blind ground floor. Both structures have first-floor window sill bands and a moulded string course leading to a crenellated parapet. The outbuilding features rectangular louvred windows, while the outer bays of the wall have lancet windows and a central recessed bay with four-light windows that have square heads and returned hood moulds.
