Court Farmhouse

Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, that underwent modifications in the 17th century and is likely based on a 15th-century hall-house, with significant alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of rubble, rendered, and features a pantiled roof with raised coped verges and gable stacks.

The east front has two storeys and four windows. The ground floor includes three and four-light 20th-century casements with glazing bars, while the first floor has a three-light 20th-century casement on either side, along with two small wooden two-light windows featuring trefoiled heads and iron lattice in the center, likely mid-20th-century copies. An off-centre door with a sidelight is set in a gabled porch supported by piers.

The right side of the building has a blank gable end, while the left side features a small two-light casement at the ground floor right. The roof extends to the left over a single-storey addition that includes a door in a gabled porch and a single light. At the rear, there is a glazed door to the left, three 20th-century casements on the first floor, and a single-storey addition with a hipped roof to the left, which has two two-light casements at the rear and two single lights on the left side.

Inside, the south end of the roof has been re-roofed in the 17th century and consists of two bays. The north end retains four trusses with principal rafters, moulded arched-braces, and cambered collars, along with one row of purlins and windbraces in the lower tier. There is one moulded corbel remaining at the front and rear bases of the trusses, and the wall-top is a plastered-over timber, possibly a cornice plate. The wall thickness and details suggest that around 1500, the house was rebuilt with a large fireplace at the north gable and a four-bay braced roof.
