Felcourt

Felcourt is a former rectory dating to 1858, designed by E B Lamb for Frederick de Grey, the younger son of Lord Walsingham. It is constructed of red brick with yellow and red sandstone dressings, covered by plain tile roofs. The building has an irregular plan and asymmetrical facades, with the principal views facing south and east.

The east facade features a gabled wing with a steeply pitched roof descending to ground floor eaves. It rises three storeys high, defined by horizontal bands that fall short of the stepped gable, which is set back at each storey level; these bands also continue around a projecting bay at the apex. A substantial stack with multiple shafts linked under a heavy moulded cap rises from the apex. The windows are of three, two, and single lights, decreasing in size towards the upper floor, with chamfered brick arrises and stone dressings. Some windows have brick mullions. A three-light mullion and transomed window illuminates the ground floor, with slightly arched lights and leaded glass. A similar two-light window is on the first floor, and a two-light mullioned window occupies the upper storey. Several single lights are present, alongside a tall opening to the right of the stack. A porch is situated to the left, within the gable profile and under a separate roof, featuring a stone four-centred arched doorway. A six-light mullion window is visible on the left-hand return. The porch has a boarded ceiling with carved bosses and a polychromatic tile floor.

The south facade extends beyond the eastern gabled wing, creating a grouped mass with divergent roof lines and stacks. A gabled wing sweeps through two storeys to the right, while a single-storey section is on the left. Three irregular storeys are marked by bands similar to the east facade, with the gable stepped at mid-storey height. A corbelled window bay rises through two and a half storeys from above the flush ground floor window, which is glazed with margin lights. The upper two storeys feature two-light cross casements similar to those on the east facade. A tall four-pane window cuts through the first-floor band to the right. A moulded brick plinth follows the return walls.

Inside, the porch features a four-centred arched inner doorway and a garden door. The hall has a dado reaching almost to the lintel of the doors. An open string dog leg staircase has turned balusters (two per tread), a turned newel with chamfered square finials, and a moulded mahogany rail. A four-centred arched fireplace opening is also present. Internal doors are of three by three recessed panels. A single-storey service wing, attached to the right and partly under a pyramidal roof, completes the composition.
