Description

Court House is a house dating from the early 16th century, which was later remodelled and refaced in the early 18th century. Originally, it was timber-framed, featuring heavy framing in square panels with brick infill at the rear of the left wing. The front is constructed of grey brick in header bond with red brick dressings, topped by a hipped and half-hipped old tile roof and a large brick ridge stack. The building is L-shaped with a left wing and has two storeys with an eight-window range.

There is a segmental arch over a 19th-century six-panelled door, which has two glazed panels, and a 20th-century porch. The ground floor features segmental arches over two-light leaded casements, except for one blocked window and a 20th-century window to the left. The first floor has similar leaded casements, with two blind windows and a 20th-century window above the door. To the right, there is a mid-18th-century outshut and a 20th-century rear outshut. Inside, the house has chamfered and stopped beams, timber-framed partitions, and a queen-post roof with clasped purlins.
