Court Close And Attached Wall

Court Close is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the early 17th century and was remodelled and extended on the sides around 1810. The building is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble, with a coursed extension on the left side. It features a gabled and half-hipped stone slate roof, along with a brick ridge stack and a stack at the right end. The layout has been extended to a three-unit plan and consists of two storeys with a three-window range.

The entrance has a chamfered timber lintel above a five-panelled door set in a beaded architrave, and there is a 19th-century stone porch. The windows include tripartite sashes with chamfered timber lintels and three-light leaded casements on the first floor. The left bay has a timber lintel over French windows and a two-light casement in a half dormer. At the rear, there is a 17th-century dairy that was heightened in the early 19th century, featuring a three-light oak diamond mullioned window with leaded lights.

Inside, the ground floor room contains 17th-century quartered and chamfered cyma-stopped beams, along with stop-chamfered joists. This room also has an early 19th-century central partition, panelled doors, and an arched stone fireplace. The first floor has chamfered and stopped beams, while the two-bay attic features a closed truss with butt purlins and a fine 17th-century plank door with iron fittings set in a chamfered frame. The extension to the right of the front, dated 1810 on a beam, is made of similar materials and has one storey and an attic with a two-window range, including two- and three-light leaded casements and a bread oven projection in the right side wall.

Additionally, there is a high wall to the left made of limestone rubble, which ramps down at the front.
