Description
The Court House is a late 17th century or early 18th century house with a late 18th century street facade, located on Kimbolton High Street. It stands two storeys high with attics and features a cartway to the north-west. The building is constructed of local brick, with a timber-framed rear wall and internal trusses. The street facade is rendered, and the roof is covered with plain tiles, featuring an end stack and a ridge stack. The eaves cornice is modillioned.
There are three flat-roofed dormer windows with horizontal sliding sashes and glazing bars. On the first floor, there are six recessed hung sash windows with glazing bars, set in flat arches with key blocks. A pair of similar windows is located on either side of the doorway, which is approached by two stone steps. The entrance features a six-panelled door with cast-iron glazing bars above a radial fanlight in a round-headed arch. The doorcase has panelled reveals, fluted pilasters, and dentil enrichment beneath a broken triangular pediment.
Inside, the Court House boasts a fine original closed string staircase, panelled rooms on both floors with contemporary chimney pieces, some early hung sash windows, and original roof trusses.
