Courtleaze Farmhouse

Courtleaze Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a 17th-century core, an addition from 1752, and extensive alterations from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of rubble stone with brick dressings on all sides, except for the main southeast front which is cement rendered, and the northeast front that features stone gabled windows. It has gabled slate roofs with dressed stone copings and cement rendered brick stacks. The farmhouse has a U-shaped plan, with the southeast front comprising two storeys and three bays, along with a gabled two-storey half octagon end to the southwest. The early 19th-century small-pane sashes are set under arched window heads, and there is a 20th-century glazed door with an early 19th-century latticed porch topped with a copper hood. The southwest range includes Gothic glazing in two-light casements beneath flat heads with dripstones, and to the northwest, there is a projecting dairy built in 1752, as noted on a datestone inscribed 'MSP 1752'. This dairy is a single storey with Gothic glazing and features two half hipped slate roofs with a central valley. Inside, the southeast room on the ground floor of the principal front has a stopped and chamfered beam. The dairy contains 18th-century stained glass, a mosaic floor, and 19th-century wall tiling that includes the Pleydell-Bouverie crest.
