Bockleton Court Farmhouse

Bockleton Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. The building features a combination of timber framing with painted brick infill on a rubble base, as well as sections of rubble with brick replacement walling and roughcast on the south and west sides. It has plain tiled roofs, some of which are hipped, and includes brick ridge stacks, notably a group of four 19th-century diagonal stacks at the north end of the central range.

The farmhouse is designed in an H-plan, with a central range that is roughly three bays wide and a large chimney at the north end, which forms the lobby entrance. This central range is intersected by a north range that likely consists of two framed bays, and a tall two-bay south range. The building has two storeys, with exposed framing visible at the west end of the north range. The first floor features two rows of panels, with short straight braces in the upper corners and a collar and tie-beam truss supported by two struts.

On the west front elevation, the windows are primarily 19th-century casements. The central range includes a 4-light window on the ground floor, a 3-light window on the first floor, and the main entrance at the northern end, along with a lean-to addition featuring a 2-light window at the southern end. The north gable end has a 2-light window on the ground floor and a 3-light window on the first floor, while the south gable end features a 2-light ground floor window and a rendered external chimney. A large wing adjoins the north end, which has lean-to additions with catslide roofs at both the front and rear, as well as a lean-to addition and a single-storey wing at the rear.

Inside, the central range is noted to have a mid-17th-century panelled overmantel on the ground floor, flanked by demi-figures that support a carved frieze and dentilled cornice. On the first floor, there is a room that is completely panelled in oak, featuring a carved frieze and a ceiling with intersecting moulded beams that enclose plastered compartments with moulded edges.
