The Court

The Court is a house built in the mid-18th century, with a front dated 1753 on an internal door. It features some earlier elements and has undergone later alterations. The front is made of limestone ashlar, while the sides and rear are constructed from roughly coursed rubble with some sandstone. The house has slate roofs with raised coped verges and ashlar gable stacks.

It stands three storeys tall and has five bays, with the central bay projecting forward. All windows are sash style, smaller on the second floor, and are set within raised moulded architraves. The central entrance features a 20th-century half-glazed door within a moulded architrave, flanked by a pulvinated frieze, Doric pilasters, and a segmental pediment. The moulded plinth extends to either side of the door, and there are chamfered quoins at the ends and the centre unit. A band course runs above the lintels of the ground and first-floor windows, topped by a cornice, parapet, and moulded coping. The central bay includes a pediment and a plaque with a swag.

The left return has a similar sash window on the first floor to the right, with a visible joint leading to a lower two-storey wing on the left that features three larger sashes in a similar surround at ground level, along with three 6-pane sashes on the first floor. The rear has sandstone quoins and a parapet wall with coping that conceals varied rooflines. The right return includes a two-storey rear wing with three sashes on the ground floor and three 9-pane sashes on the first floor, as well as two doors in chamfered surrounds with keystones.

The rear features a tall 24-pane sash, a door with a keystone, and a segmental-headed cellar door, along with a single light in an ovolo-moulded surround and a 9-pane sash above. Inside, the ground floor front rooms have cornices and have been extensively remodelled during the 19th century.
