Description
Court House Dairy is a detached farmhouse dated 1850, as indicated by the transom of the front window. The building features rubble-stone walls with a continuous string course beneath the main window and above the front door. It has a clay-tile roof with stone gable copings and stone stacks, one at the left gable and another at the right front stack embrasure, which displays the fleur-de-lis of Digby.
The farmhouse is 1½ to 2 storeys high and has an irregular and unusual arrangement of windows. On the left side at ground level, there are 4-light casements with wooden mullions and a stone cornice above. A gabled dormer window features 3-light casements with a wooden lintel. The central window is a two-storey, 3-light mullion window with a heavy transom, which is also gabled and coped. The front door, located to the right of this window, has moulded jambs and a depressed arch within a square head, and it is a plank door fitted with strap hinges.
At the rear, there is a range set at right angles to the main building, which is also 1½ storeys high and contains two windows: one 3-light and one 4-light wood casement, both with wooden lintels above. The ground floor windows have stone cornices. The central doorway features a door frame with a depressed-arch head, leading to another plank door with strap hinges. There is an outshut at the rear of the main range, which was formerly a pump house, and the dairy is housed in the rear range.
