Court House

The Court House is a house dating from the 17th century, with early and mid-19th century alterations and additions. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, and includes some timber-framing with rendered infill. The roofs are machine-tiled, featuring gable-end parapets on the stone part and large brick stacks at each end and at the rear of the central ridge.

The main range consists of four bays aligned north to south, with a service cross-wing of two framed bays at the north end. The external chimney at the north end has offsets and a tall rebuilt ashlar stack. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a chamfered plinth. The cross-wing features two rows of square panels at the first floor level, with short straight braces in the upper corners and collar and tie-beam roof trusses. The east front truss has three struts to the collar and a V-strut in the apex.

On the east front elevation, the main range has gables above the first and third bays. Most windows have hoodmoulds, except for the window in the fourth bay, and are mainly 20th century casements. The first bay features a 4-light chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor, while the third bay has a tripartite sash window with a central 12-pane sash and outer 8-pane sashes on the ground floor. Both these bays have 3-light first floor chamfered mullioned windows and similar 2-light attic windows. The second bay has a similar 2-light window on the first floor and a 3-light casement on the first floor of the fourth bay, beneath which is a blocked doorway.

The main entrance in the second bay has a hoodmould, a 19th century door with pointed-arched panels, and a narrow transom light with five glazing bars. The gable end of the service wing features a 3-light window on both main floors, as well as a 3-light ground floor window and a 2-light first floor window in the angle with the main ridge. There is also a 19th century lean-to outshut enclosing the external chimney and a single-storey 19th century kitchen wing on the north side elevation.
