Gore Court

Gore Court is a 15th-century timber-framed building located on Malmains Road in Pluckley. It features plaster infilling, and the first floor of the end window bays originally overhung but has been underbuilt in painted brick. The eaves are supported by curved braces. The nearly central bay on both the ground and first floors has windows arranged in tiers of six lights, with wooden mullions and transoms, and a cove beneath the first-floor window. Above, a gable contains an attic window. The building has a steeply-pitched hipped tiled roof and casement windows. There is a modern porch, and to the west, another doorway is topped with a gabled hood, suggesting the building may have once been two cottages. The south-east wall has a painted brick chimney breast, and the ground floor of the south-west front has been rebuilt in stone rubble. Gore Court is a notable example of a 15th-century Wealden hall-house.
