Court Farmhouse

Court Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed house that was originally two separate houses, dating back to the early 17th century, with some remains from the 14th century in the eastern section. In the early 20th century, these two houses were joined together by A N Prentice to create a single dwelling. The building is constructed from limestone rubble and features remnants of timber framing, topped with stone slate roofs. It stands two storeys high with an attic.

The windows throughout the farmhouse are mostly mullioned, with many featuring rebated and chamfered designs. The eastern section consists of two gabled bays, with the left bay being wider. It has six-light windows on the ground floor, five-light windows on the first floor, and two-light windows in the attic. The right bay is also two storeys tall and has 3-light windows. A chimney is located towards the rear behind the left gable.

The western section includes a gabled cross-wing on the left, which has a five-light window on the ground floor, a four-light window on the first floor, and a three-light window in the attic. To the right, there are two additional bays, with the left bay featuring a first-floor window set within a gable. The right bay is lower and also gabled. A door on the left has a chamfered surround with a canted head, and there are chimneys to the right of the door, on the ridge of the cross-wing, and at the left.

The link created by Prentice has low eaves and includes a central one-bay, two-storey gabled projection, along with a two-storey bay window at the angle with the lower western house. To the left of this gabled projection is a 3-light mullioned window and a doorway with a canted head. A chimney with clustered square shafts is situated on the ridge of the gable. The western wall of the western house features stone on the ground floor and timber framing in two rows of square panels on the first floor.

The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in January 1987, but it is noted that the eastern house is said to incorporate part of a late 14th-century hall, which includes one remaining braced collar cruck truss and re-used moulded beams from a similar period.
