Description
Green Court and Green Court Cottage is a house row located on the west side of Staplehurst High Street. It dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is clad in channelled render and features a plain tile roof. It has two storeys and a low brick plinth to the left of the door, while the right side has a rendered plinth. The eaves cornice is moulded, and the roof is gabled.
On the left, there is a projecting red and grey brick gable-end stack, and a panelled and filleted red and grey brick stack is located on the rear slope of the roof towards the right of centre. The building has an irregular arrangement of six windows in open boxes. This includes a pair of 6-pane sashes with a central mullion at the left end, a 12-pane sash, a 6-light mullioned and transomed window, a cross window beneath the stack, and a 3-light and a 2-light mullioned and transomed window towards the right end. The ground-floor windows have moulded cornices, with two at the left end also featuring pulvinated friezes.
The door consists of six fielded panels and is set within an architrave that has rusticated Doric pilasters, a pulvinated frieze, and a moulded triangular pediment above it, positioned under the second window from the left. To the right end, there is a half-glazed door with a moulded cornice. A short rear wing extends to the left, rendered on the ground floor and tile-hung above, with a hipped roof and a lower ridge. A small rectangular panel is located under the eaves towards the centre of the main range. The interior has not been inspected.
