Description

Longueville Court, dating to circa 1729, is a two-story limestone house. The main block exhibits ashlar construction with a hipped slate roof formed of two slopes, and stone-based chimneys at each gable end. It features five windows, with glazing bar sash windows set within wide, moulded stone cases flush with the façade. These windows are topped by stone lintels with keystones, and the house has a plinth and a band at the first-floor level.

The central entrance is framed by an early 17th-century stone doorcase, salvaged from Wolverton Manor, which was demolished in 1725. This doorcase features a semi-circular head with two reeded Corinthian columns supporting a large broken pediment displaying the arms of the Longueville family in its tympanum, and strapwork on the soffit of the lintel. A section of Doric order frieze is positioned above the platband and on either side of the pediment. A later canted bay window of three lights has been added to the right of the doorway.

A lower, two-story wing is attached to the south, constructed of rubble. This wing contains three-light sash windows with glazing bars and keystones on the right, and a single-light sash with glazing bars and a keystone to the left.

At the rear, a brick porch and steps lead to the entrance, opening onto a courtyard containing a pump. Inside, there is said to be a 17th-century pedimented doorway originating from the old Manor, bearing the Longueville crest and grotesques in the spandrels. Additionally, a section of 12th-century dogtooth, originally from the local church, is incorporated within the house.
