Court House Farmhouse

Court House Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a core dating back to the 16th century, which has been altered in the 17th and 18th centuries and extended in the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with dressed stone quoins and features a steeply pitched gabled stone tiled roof with end stacks. The western stack is made of renewed stone, while the eastern stack rises from a stepped buttressed stone flue with a brick base and a renewed stone top. The layout may have originally been an 'open hall' plan, which was floored and extended by a southeast wing in the 17th century and a southwest wing in the 19th century.

The northern front, which has a late 17th-century character, is two storeys high and consists of five bays. The upper windows are large 2-light casements, while the ground floor features 4-light windows with stone ovolo mullions and transoms, along with small-paned 18th-century wooden lights. There is a 20th-century glazed door set within a plain glazed 19th-century porch. The southern front includes an additional 3-light ogee mullioned window on the southwest at ground floor level, along with two other windows of 2 and 3 lights, all with ovolo mullions and dripstones to the southeast.

The two southern wings comprise a two-storey, one-bay 19th-century range of rubble stone with a half-hipped stone tiled roof to the southwest, and a southeast range that is roughcast on rubble stone with a gabled stone tiled roof, which contains another 3-light mullioned window. The southern doorway is centrally placed but enclosed within the 19th-century wing. It features a stone four-centred arch with a single chamfer and leads into a central passage that has a heavy ceiling beam with ovolo, cavetto, and ogee moulding.

In the northeast bedroom, remnants of medieval roof timbering can be seen, including a truss, a collar, and two wind braces visible on the underside of the roof. The farmhouse is likely located on the site of the grange of Beaulieu Abbey. The manor was held by Beaulieu Abbey from 1205, leased to William Morys in the early 16th century, and purchased from the Crown by Thomas Morris in 1540. His descendant, Francis Morris, sheltered Edmund Campion in the house in 1581.
