Description
The Court House, formerly known as Long Ashton Magistrate's Court, is a Grade II listed building constructed between 1857 and 1858 by John Norton. It features coursed rubble with freestone dressings and a double Roman tiled roof, along with panelled ashlar stacks, all designed in a late Gothic style. The building is a single storey with attics that have gabled half dormers.
The façade consists of a 1:4:1 bay arrangement, where the outer bays are advanced as two-storey gabled wings. On the ground floor, these wings have three-light cross windows with chamfered mullions and surrounds, while the first floor features three-light windows with shouldered segmental heads, all set beneath relieving arches. The central bays contain similar two-light windows.
A central gabled porch with side buttresses leads to a pointed doorway that is topped with a hoodmould. Lean-to porches are present in the re-entrant angles of the wings.
