The Court

The Court is a farmhouse with significant medieval origins, dating back to approximately 1400. A further parlour and solar wing was added around 1500, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries, and an extension to the north, likely dating to the 18th century, also with later alterations. The building is constructed of rubble with limestone dressings and features a double Roman tiled roof, while the solar wing has pantiles.

The house presents a T-plan. The north elevation of the hall has two 2-light windows with cusped heads and quatrefoils, each with a hood mould. A 4-centred arched doorway with a moulded surround and relieving arch sits to the left, with a lancet window above. A similar door is located to the right; a blocked upper door on the left gable return indicates a former extension. The south elevation of the hall mirrors this design with similar windows and a doorway to the right, where a section of the wall is set back above the door. A tall, pointed arched opening with 20th-century plate glass is on the left.

The east elevation of the parlour wing showcases a transomed 4-light window at ground floor level, with ogee and pointed arched lights, some fitted with 20th-century plate glass. To the left is a 4-centred arched door, set within a hollow-chamfered surround. Above the door sits a 2-light window with cusped ogee heads and a hood mould. The gable end of the parlour wing has a large blocked window on the ground floor, and a large pointed arched opening with plate glass on the first floor.

The rear of the parlour wing (to the west) displays a transomed window similar to that on the east elevation. A 2-light 19th-century window sits under the eaves, and a polygonal stair turret contains a newel stair. The first floor of the rear wing features two 19th-century casements with chamfered mullions and hood moulds, alongside a 20th-century French window with cusped stone lights above and a single 2-pane light to the right. Attached to the left is a 2-storey farmhouse, with a taller section to the far left, featuring 3-light, 2-light, and single 20th-century windows on the first floor. The east elevation of this farmhouse has 20th-century casements and two gabled dormers.

The interior was inaccessible during the 1985 survey, but historical sources describe the hall roof as having collar-beams and arched-braces, while the parlour wing roof features collars, arched-braces, and three tiers of windbraces.
