Court Lodge

House. Built in the 16th century, with additions and alterations in the 17th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed, with 19th-century cladding. The house is set approximately 40 yards back from the street and comprises four sections.

The range parallel to the street dates from the mid-16th century. The ground floor is rendered, while the first floor is tile-hung with thin bands of plain tiles and thick bands of fishscale tiles. The gables are rendered with moulded bargeboards to the front elevation and the left end. The right gable end sits on a drop in ground level and has a galletted stone plinth surmounted by brick in English bond up to ground level of the front elevation, with tile hanging above. The roof is tiled, with a crested ridge tile. The building is two storeys high with a garret, and incorporates a cellar at the right end. It is jettied along the front elevation and was formerly also jettied on the left gable end. There are two very large eaves gables, and a stack is located in the rear slope of the roof, off-centre to the left. The front features three timber-framed bays with an irregular fenestration of three 19th-century mullioned sash windows, with canted bay windows below. A panelled door with a sloping hood on brackets is located in the left gable end of a short 19th-century rear lean-to.

A recessed range to the right dates from the late 16th century and has a stone plinth, plastered ground floor, and a cemented first floor. It has a plain tile roof and is jettied. A large stack to the right gable forms the base of the ground floor wall, and there is a hipped through dormer to the left.

A rear wing to the recessed range dates from the 17th or 18th century and is timber-framed with brick and tile hanging and a plain tile roof. It is two storeys high and comprises one timber-framed bay. A late 19th-century two-storey rear addition completes the block.

The interior features exposed timbers, with plain crown posts in the main range. The house is said to have been built for Thomas Vicary, Surgeon to Henry VIII.
