Description

The Court Inn is an inn located on Bridge Street, dating from the 17th to 18th century, with a remodel in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of limestone rubble, with 20th-century rendering on the front. It features a concrete tile roof that is gabled on the right and hipped on the left, along with rendered brick ridge and end stacks. The inn has a three-unit plan and a courtyard at the rear, standing two storeys tall with a four-window range. The entrance consists of panelled doors set within a mid-19th-century moulded wood architrave that has console brackets supporting a flat hood. The windows include 6-pane sashes and tripartite sashes.

To the right, there is an 18th-century range that is connected to a former coach house built of limestone rubble, which dates from the mid-19th century and has a Welsh slate roof. The range at the rear left has been remodeled in the 20th century and mid-19th century, and it is attached to an early 18th-century right-angle block made of limestone rubble, featuring a concrete tile roof and a brick end stack. This block is two storeys high and includes a round-arched doorway. The interior of the rear range has not been inspected.
