Courtlands

This is a house, likely dating to the late 16th century, with an 19th-century addition. 20th-century alterations and additions have also been made. The original part of the house is timber-framed and rendered with incised decoration. Later sections are built in painted brick, with some parts rendered. The early range has a plain tile roof, while the rest of the house is covered with Welsh slate. There are brick stacks, some of which are partially rendered, and others are made of white brick.

The original 16th-century range is two bays wide, set end-on to the road. A 19th-century range extends to the rear. The front of the 16th-century section has a three-light leaded casement window facing the road. A 20th-century extension provides access to the left return. The right return has a canted bay with margin glazing under a slate roof, and a triangular oriel window on the first floor. The roof slopes down in a hip to the road end. The 19th-century section slightly projects from the right return and features a four-panel door with a radial overlight in an architrave, above which is a sash window with glazing bars, also in an architrave. There’s an external brick stack and a 12-pane sash window in an architrave to the right.

The garden front is four bays wide, with the two bays on the right being a later 19th-century addition. It features a canted bay with French windows on the left, and a glazed conservatory on the right. Above are sash windows with glazing bars, the right-hand ones being fitted with pulleys (horns).

Inside the original 16th-century range, there is a moulded beam with run-out stops and exposed joists. There's also a groove indicating the position of an original window on the wall plate. A rebuilt inglenook fireplace, a chamfered cambered beam with a large arch brace, and studded partition walls with an edge-halved scarf wall plate are also present. The first floor has a chamfered bressumer over a blocked fireplace. The roof is supported by clasped purlins. The building is listed for its group value.
