Description
The Court House and attached stable is a building with origins dating back to the 17th century, featuring alterations from the 18th century and an early 19th-century stable on the left. The structure is made of rubble with stone dressings, while the rear wing is rendered. It has a slate roof with raised coped verges and gable stacks, forming an L-plan. The building stands two storeys high and has three windows, all of which are modern metal-framed with leaded lights.
On the ground floor, there are two 2-light casements with flat mullions and architraves, while the first floor features similar, smaller windows, including two 3-light windows and a central 2-light window. To the right, there are remains of an earlier bolection-moulded architrave between the ground and first-floor windows, along with a blocked window to the left. The central door has a moulded surround with a very worn architrave, an impost block to the right, a keystone, a plain frieze, and a floating cornice. The building has a returned plinth, a weathered string course, and quoins.
The left return includes a 19th-century door with a Tudor arch and a moulded surround, along with a hood mould to the left. There is a similar blocked door to the right with a very worn chamfered surround. The first floor has a 2-light window like those on the front and a blocked window with a timber lintel at the upper level. The right return features a ground floor 2-light window matching the front, a loading door at the first floor, and a winch above, with marks on the wall indicating a former external stair.
The single-storey stable attached to the left has two doors with applied fillets, a 4-pane fixed light, and a 2-light casement. At the rear of the house, there is a two-storey gabled wing to the right with two ground floor windows and one 6-light casement on the first floor, all modern with leaded lights. To the left, there are two 2-light windows on the first floor and a single-storey lean-to with a modern door and three windows. The rear of the stable has a door similar to the front, a modern window, and an opening with ventilation louvres.
Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase with turned balusters, doors on the first floor with applied fillets, and the front left room on the ground floor features a chamfered beam. The interior of the stable is not accessible.
