Maes Court

Maes Court is a house and barn that has been combined into one dwelling, dating from around 1630, with alterations and extensions made in the early and mid-20th century. The building features a timber-framed structure with painted brick and rendered infill set on a sandstone rubble plinth, along with painted brick additions and replacement walling, all topped with plain tiled roofs. Originally designed in an H-plan, the central bay runs east to west and includes a large chimney, with three star-shaped stacks forming the lobby entrance. Each end of the building has cross-wings consisting of two framed bays, and the west wing is connected to a three-bay barn that runs north to south.

The building is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar. The framing includes three and four panels from the sill to the wall-plate, long straight braces in the lower corners, and collar and tie-beam trusses featuring two collars, four struts to the lower collar, two to the upper collar, and some with a V-strut in the apex. Most of the windows are 20th-century leaded casements.

On the south front elevation, the original section has a central lean-to addition with a two-light casement and a 20th-century oriel window above it. The right cross-wing gable end features a three-light casement on both the ground and first floors, along with an attic light. The left cross-wing gable end has a first-floor three-light casement, an attic light, and the main entrance, which includes a lean-to timber-framed 20th-century porch with a central gable. The porch is inscribed with the date "1630" and contains a re-used 17th-century studded door. The 20th-century link to the left has a hipped bay window on the ground floor and three rectangular lights on the first floor, with a large ridge stack above. The gable end of the former barn features a four-light casement on both the ground and first floors, also with plank weatherings. Inside, there is an archway pierced through the central chimney and a small Jacobean overmantel in the entrance hall.
