Description
Dunstall Court is a house from the mid-19th century, built of red brick with ashlar dressings. It features fishscale-tiled roofs that are partly hidden behind parapets, with finials at the gable ends and Bartisan-style projections at the lower corners of each gable. The building has a roughly U-shaped plan, with the main entrance located on the south side of the south wing.
The house is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar, and has a chamfered plinth and a moulded cornice. In the Jacobethan style, the south entrance front has three bays. The outer bays contain shallow full-height gabled bay windows, which have drip moulds above the ground floor windows and a sill string below the first floor windows. The ground floor windows are of the 4-light mullion and transom type, while the first floor windows are 4-light mullioned types without transoms. Each gable apex features a louvred loophole.
The central bay includes a projecting gabled porch wing, with larger Bartisan-style projections that have domical finials, extending down to the ground floor to create slender octagonal piers. The first floor sill string and drip mould continue around these piers. The first floor also has an oriel window that is corbelled out from the wall surface, topped with a hipped roof behind an embattled parapet and three narrow rectangular lights. A louvred rectangular light is present in the gable apex. The entrance features a basket archway within a moulded square-headed opening, flanked by narrow pointed openings, all of which contain glazed elements. Blank heraldic-shaped panels are located in the apex of each gable end.
The east elevation has three 20th-century dormers. This house likely represents a rebuilding of a 17th-century or older structure and is noted for its detailed 19th-century architectural features.
