Description
The Court Hotel, originally a house, dates from around 1800. It features stone walls that are rendered and washed, topped with a slate roof that has gable ends and projecting modillion eaves. The building has three rendered chimney stacks: one on the former left-hand gable, one at the center, and one on the right-hand gable. There is a slightly set back extension on the left side with a higher eaves-cornice. The main block is two storeys high and has five vertical sash windows with glazing bars and stone cills. The ground floor windows are fitted with external wooden shutters that slide in chevronny shutter-frames. An arched opening on the far left leads into a very small yard. The front door, located at the right-hand gable end, is a 20th-century wooden double door with marginal glazing and fielded panels below, set beneath a porch.
Attached to the hotel are arrow-headed railings with urns at the bay divisions, resting on a sleeper-wall with stone coping.
