Description
Morris Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages. It dates from the 17th and 19th centuries, with a date of 1632 noted under the right end window. The building is constructed of red brick and features a plain tiled roof. It has a lobby entry and stands two storeys high on a flint plinth, with a string course. The eaves cornice is moulded with wooden dentils, and the roof is hipped with chimney stacks located to the left, center, and right.
The left end window bay is a 19th-century addition. The original 17th-century structure includes three projecting two-storey canted bay windows with wooden casements on both floors, a separate stair light on the first floor, and a blocked light to the left of the door on the ground floor. The door, positioned to the left of center, has six panels and is topped with a rectangular fan light and a flat hood.
