Court Lodge

House. The core of Court Lodge dates back to the 16th century, though it was extensively clad and extended in the 1830s and altered again in 1949. It has a timber frame, now largely hidden behind red brickwork, and a plain tiled roof. The house is two storeys high with a garret, and includes a single-storey entrance lobby. The eaves overhang on iron brackets, and the roof has gabled ends. Chimneys are situated on both the left and right sides of the building. The windows are mostly metal casements from the mid-20th century, with a tall stair window on the right return. A central double-panelled door, dated to the 20th century, provides access. The garret has round-headed window surrounds, with one on the left return featuring an early 19th-century leaded light. The garden front has three glazing bar sashes on each floor, originally with a central doorway.

The interior retains a timber frame hall house structure, largely concealed by the 1835 additions. This includes ceilings with ovolo and fillet moulded cross-beams, along with exposed structural posts and large tie beams. Within the roof of the 1835 extension are remnants of a medieval roof – approximately 1 ½ bays – which is smoke blackened, lacks purlins, and has steeply cambered collars. A large early 19th-century kitchen inglenook is also present. A solar room with a large fireplace existed until alterations were made in 1949. The site is of manorial significance.
