Description

The Court is a house that dates back to around 1485, likely originally built in the early 17th century but later remodeled. It is two stories high, constructed of rubble, and has cellars along with two modern gabled attic dormers beneath a new red tile roof. On the north and south sides, there are projecting stone stacks topped with renewed stone twin octagonal-sided shafts. The west front features renewed two-light stone mullioned and transomed windows, and the front doorway has a modern bracketed and moulded hood. Inside, there is an original fireplace.

Local climate

The Court sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 73% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
