Description
Court House is a detached house built in the early 19th century. It features dressed stone walls and a slate roof with gable ends, along with brick stacks at both the left and right gables. The house has two storeys and three sash windows with thin glazing bars and stone cills. The front door, located at the center of the ground floor, is glass-panelled throughout and dates from the 20th century. Above the door is a segmental fanlight with glazing bars, which is from the 19th century.
In front of the house, there is an attached stone wall that dates to the 19th century, made of dressed stone with coping stones. The wall is ramped at the corners and leads to gate piers that have square cap stones. There is also a 19th-century iron gate with spear finials.
