Description

Bircholt Court is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the late 17th century and mid 19th century. It features a timber frame with brick infill and has been extended with red brick, topped by a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a hipped roof and a central chimney stack. On the first floor, there are two wooden casement windows, and one on the ground floor. The entrance has a moulded panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight set in a gauged surround, located within a 19th-century gabled porch.

To the right, there is a two-storey and garret extension that includes a canted bay, with tile hanging on the first floor of the right return. The left return features a plinth, a plat band, and English bond brickwork, which was originally extended to an outshot but has been raised to a second storey. The original framed building once extended further to the north on the left return, but the end wall was rebuilt in the late 17th century. A dated panel on the left side of the front elevation shows the number 60, although the first part of the date is now missing. Bircholt Court is situated on a manorial site, with the earthwork remains of Bircholt parish church (St. Margaret's) located adjacent to the north.
