Description

North Court is a house dating from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the mid-20th century. There is some evidence of an original 16th-century timber frame, but the house is now largely constructed of red brick in English bond, with a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys, a plinth, a plat band, and a moulded brick eaves cornice to the roof. There is a shaped gable and projecting, offset stack at the end to the left, and stacks to the centre right and right. The roof is hipped and stepped down to the right. A two-storey, 20th-century canted bay is located to the left. The first floor has three metal casement windows with basket-arched heads, while the ground floor has two similar windows, and one, with a pentice, in a lower two-storey extension. The central porch contains a door of two moulded panels, topped with a Dutch gable. A Dutch-gabled rear wing is also present. Inside, a notable feature is an elaborate plaster mantelpiece and fireplace. This includes pointed arched recesses on either side of a segmental fireplace, with a mantel decorated with intertwining tree trunks, leaves that wreath the chimney piece, and reliefs of farmyard buildings, animals, and wagons. North Court was separated from South Court as a distinct manor around 1564.
