Loders Court

Loders Court is a manor house dating from the late 18th century, with possible remnants of a priory building in the cellars. The structure features stone walls that are stuccoed, topped with a flat parapet and hipped slate roofs. It has two storeys and six sash windows with glazing bars and stone sills on the north elevation, along with blind windows on the right side at ground level. The central front door has six ribbed and fielded panels, topped by a semi-circular fanlight with four glass panels on each side. A stone portico with Roman Doric columns frames the entrance, featuring a plain stone entablature with a triglyph frieze from the 19th century. To the left at ground level, there is another door made of wood, with six glass panels and a rectangular fanlight above. The west front includes a mid-19th century trellis with a flared roof that spans the full width of the ground floor. Inside, the south-east room boasts a late 18th century marble fireplace surround with an entablature and a frieze panel carved with an urn and ram's head. The staircase hall features a marble floor and is semi-circular at the south end, containing the original staircase with wrought-iron balusters.
