Court Farm

Court Farm is a farmhouse that dates back to the late medieval period. It features a hall house design with a ceiling that was inserted in the early 17th century. The building was refronted in the late 18th century, and an L-shaped wing was added in the 1830s, along with three oasthouses at the rear. Until the mid-20th century, there was a corresponding wing on the left side, which included an elaborate late 16th-century external brick chimneystack, giving the building a half H plan.

The main structure is timber framed and clad in red brick, except for the rear, which is made of brown brick. The wing is partly constructed of stock brick and partly cement rendered. The roof is tiled, featuring a brick chimneystack, and while the main part is clad in brick, a section of close studding is visible at the rear. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with a stock brick chimneystack at the back.

The farmhouse has two storeys and features late 19th-century mullioned and transomed wooden casements. On the ground floor, there is a 7-light bay on the right side, a 20th-century half-glazed door with sidelights under a penticed weather porch, and a cambered door on the left side. At the rear, there are three early 19th-century stock brick cylindrical oasthouses, with the central one dated 1838. These oasthouses have conical tiled roofs and inserted windows and patio doors. The projecting early 19th-century wing to the right is made of brown brick, with one side cement rendered, and features a gable with kneelers, mainly late 19th-century mullioned and transomed casements, and a mid-19th-century 3-light canted bay.

Inside, the ground floor includes an early 17th-century chamfered spine beam with lamb's tongue stops, exposed jowled corner posts, a curved windbrace, and a complete late medieval roof with an octagonal crown post supported by four head braces onto the collar beam and wall frame, which features curved braces.
