Description
Guise Court is a house dating from the early 18th century, with later 18th century additions, alterations around 1900, and renovations in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick and has plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high with attics and features a symmetrical facade with three bays. At the rear, there is a late 18th century stair turret topped with a hipped roof and an outshut to the north. The house has parapet gables supported by moulded brick corbels and end chimney stacks. A deep wooden eaves cornice with modillions runs along the roofline, and there is a brick band between the floors and a plinth at the base.
The central doorway has an eight-panelled door and a patterned rectangular fanlight above it, framed by doorcases with sunk panel pilasters and a flat canopy held up by plain brackets. There are two recessed sixteen-paned hung sash windows on the ground floor and two more on the first floor, along with a twelve-paned window above the doorway. Additionally, there are two narrow hung sash windows at both floor levels situated between the gable chimneys. Inside, the staircase retains its original newels, finials, and rail, and there are two raised and fielded panelled doors leading to the attic rooms.
