Description

Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with additions and alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It features a timber frame with plastered infill and brick laid in Flemish bond. The building has steeply pitched roofs that have been renewed with tiles, along with brick end stacks and a large stone lateral stack that has offsets and diagonal shafts on the left return. The structure is L-shaped, with a 19th-century re-entrant block.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The right side displays square framing, while the cross wing on the left end has a renewed gable and a wall post at the angle. The re-entrant block features a top modillioned brick cornice. The entrance to the cross wing has a half-glazed door and a lean-to canopy at the angle with the re-entrant block. The cross wing includes a late 19th-century hipped bay with a tripartite sash window and a segmental-headed window with a three-light casement that has an iron opening casement on the first floor. The re-entrant block has a late 19th-century two-storey bay with tripartite sashes, a 20th-century casement on the ground floor, and a two-light pegged small-paned casement on the first floor. The right end unit has no windows but shows signs of an entrance and a first-floor window. There is a large external end stack on the re-entrant block.

On the left return, there is a large stack with a gabled roof behind, timber framing to the left, and a small catslide outshut to the right. The right return features tension braces and small casements. The rear of the building has a large 19th-century brick outshut to the right, made of coursed rubble with an ashlar stack that has a brick shaft. The right end includes a brick gabled wing, with varied openings that include segmental-headed windows with two- or three-light casements.

Inside, the farmhouse has chamfered beams and some timber-framed partition walls.
