Description

Court Lodge Cottage is an early 15th-century house row, with some reuse of earlier materials and later alterations. The timber-framed core has a front elevation of patched red brick with some grey brick headers. The left gable end features flint on the ground floor, ragstone on the first floor, and tile hanging above. Sections of stone returns, likely from the 19th century, extend a few feet around the front elevation on both floors. The roof is tiled, half-hipped to the left and gabled to the right where it joins the slightly lower right end of the adjacent building. Multiple brick ridge stacks are towards the left end, a large plain brick stack is in the front roof slope off-centre to the right, and a brick stack is in the rear roof slope of the lower end of number 6.

Number 4 has two hipped dormers, one on either side of the stack. Number 5 has a two-storey rectangular bay with a hipped roof immediately to the left of the large plain stack, and number 6 has two hipped eaves dormers to the left and a third in the lower right end section. The door to number 4 is beneath the stack, with four fielded panels, a semi-circular fanlight, and a flat bracketed hood. The door to number 5, to the left of the bay, is half-glazed with a flat bracketed hood. The panelled door to number 6 is flanked by narrow windows; a small semi-circular rubbed brick arch over the door is joined by a short band to smaller arches over the side windows, forming a symmetrical composition. The left gable end has a tall stone jamb of an arch, a remnant of a former Medieval gateway to Court Lodge, with a small stone door with a triangular head behind it. A rear lean-to extends from number 4, and a short rear wing extends from number 5.

The interior features exposed beams and posts and a crown-post roof. The interior was partly inspected.
