Description
East Court Farmhouse is a house dating from the 14th to 16th centuries, remodelled in the 17th century, with the latter phase dated 1621 by the owner. It was extended in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of English bond brick, with the right-hand end featuring a tile-hung upper storey. It has an axial left-of-centre brick ridge stack and a hipped tiled roof on the right-hand wing.
The farmhouse has a three-room parallel plan with a right-hand cross range. It stands two storeys high and has a four-window range. The front is asymmetrical, with a tall rendered plinth and a central doorway that has a reeded frame, a flat bracketed canopy, and a six-panel door. The windows are early to mid-19th century 2- and 3-light leaded casements, with the ground-floor left-hand bay featuring a segmental-arched head. To the left of the entrance is a square stair tower with a hipped roof and single-light ground-floor and 3-light first-floor casements. The right-hand cross range extends both front and rear, featuring a hipped roof and a rear gablet, along with a truncated rear corner lateral stack. The left-hand return has a tile-hung first floor and a half-hipped roof, with a lower 19th-century extension that includes a central lateral stack and half-hipped roof.
The interior has not been inspected but is noted to contain two 14th-century aisle posts within the wall to the west of the entrance. The roof includes reused smoke-blackened rafters. The plinth suggests that the original structure was timber-framed and later cased in brick. The presence of the aisle posts and other architectural details indicates that rebuilding occurred in the 15th or 16th century, along with the addition of a solar room featuring a central crown post.
