Description
Paddlesworth Court Farmhouse, now a house, was originally built in the mid-17th century, with alterations in the 18th century and later. It is timber-framed, with the front elevation having channelled render over brick. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The house follows a lobby entry plan, with three timber-framed bays and a stack bay. It is two stories high, built on a rendered plinth, and has a hipped roof. A brick ridge stack is located towards the left end. The front has an irregular pattern of three recessed sixteen-pane top-hung casement windows, one to the left and two to the right of the stack. A half-glazed door is set within a half-glazed timber-framed porch that sits under the stack. There is a rendered lean-to on the left. A red and grey brick lean-to, built on a galleted sandstone base and rising to two stories, extends to the rear on the left end, with a tile-hung first floor.
Inside, the left ground-floor room features unchamfered axial beams and joists. This room contains a brick fireplace with a stepped chamfered back, a flint base panel, a chamfered four-centred-arched bressumer, and a large bread oven. The right ground-floor fireplace is red brick in English bond, including niches, seats, and stone sides. The central and right-end ground-floor rooms also have chamfered axial beams and joists. A stud partition separates these rooms. A small elliptical 18th-century brick fireplace is located on the rear wall of the right-end room. The first floor includes chamfered axial beams and a blocked fireplace. The 18th-century doors have two fielded and beaded panels. The first floor has broad floorboards. The left ground-floor room has a pamment floor. The top-hung front elevation casements are not original. The building was marked on Ordnance Survey maps as Paddlesworth Court Farm.
