Court Farmhouse

Court Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the mid-17th century, with later additions from the 17th century, and alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from rubble and features a double Roman tiled roof with stone ridge and gable stacks. It was probably originally designed with a two-room through passage plan, and a later wing has been added to the front right, creating an L-plan that has been extended further to the right.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two windows, all of which are 20th-century two-light casements of varying sizes with timber lintels on the ground floor. The entrance door is off-centre and features strap hinges and an iron key plate within an ovolo-moulded door frame, topped by a lead canopy porch on a trellis. The two-storey wing to the right has two similar ground floor windows and one on the first floor, all with glazing bars. The gable end of this wing is blank, and there is a straight joint to the right leading to a further lower wing, which retains a timber lintel from a former ground floor opening.

The right return of the building shows a two-span roof, with a half-glazed door to the left and a three-light casement above it, while a two-light casement is located to the right. The left return has a blank gable end. At the rear, the two bays to the right have two two-light casements under the eaves, along with two three-light casements and a central single light at ground level, where the stonework suggests a possible former rear door. There is a stair tower to the left, which is blocked internally, featuring a four-pane light at the upper level. The two bays to the left have a two-light and a three-light casement under the eaves, and two half-glazed doors with a central two-light casement below, topped by a pitched roof over the door to the right.

The interior was not accessible during the survey in April 1985, but it is noted to have a 19th-century straight stair set at the front of the stair tower, and the ridge stack contains a wide fireplace with stone jambs.
