Codrington Court

Codrington Court is a farmhouse, now a house, dating back to the 15th century, with significant alterations in the 16th, 17th, early 18th, early 19th and 20th centuries. A former attached barn to the southeast was converted into living accommodation in the 20th century. The house is constructed of local rubble stone with stone dressings, and has roofs covered in pantiles, double Roman tiles, plain tiles, and stone tiles at the eaves to the west and north. Two later ridge stacks are made of ashlar. The layout is a U-shape.

The north wing is 1½ storeys high, while the south wing is two storeys. The east elevation features a small central gable with raised coped verges, kneelers, a finial, and a 20th-century 2-light casement with an ovolo mullion and hood mould. Below are a 2-light casement with a chamfered mullion and a 3-light casement matching the gable window, alongside a blocked window to the right. The north wing's gable end, dating to around 1800, contains a Perpendicular style window with trefoil heads, a pointed arch, a hood mould, and a relieving arch at ground floor, and a single light above with a hollow-chamfered surround, pointed arch, and hood mould, all with glazing bars. The south elevation of the north wing includes a 2-bay loggia with Tudor arches on the ground floor, as well as two 2-light casements under the eaves. The south wing has a 20th-century door and window to the north and another door and loading door to the east.

The north elevation has a 2-light and a 3-light casement at ground floor, two 2-light casements at first floor, and two small gables rising nearly to the ridge height, each with a single light. These windows all have ovolo mullions and hood moulds. The west elevation features the gable end of the north wing with 2-light windows at ground and first floor, mirroring the north side. The main ½-storey elevation has varied windows and three 19th-century dormer gables, each with a 2-light casement. The projecting gable end of the 16th-century south wing retains two stone lintels from former windows, a blocked door, and 20th-century windows on either side. The south elevation includes a blocked late medieval door with a moulded 4-centred arch, a 20th-century window, a large external stack, and a wall stepped back twice to the former barn, with a 20th-century door and window.

Inside, the 15th-century open-roofed hall of the west range, which was floored in the 16th century and is now remodelled, has a large 4-centred arched fireplace and a 5-bay roof. A ground-floor central room features a 3-bay ceiling with heavy, chamfered and stopped beams. The north wing has a suspended lower ceiling in part, with heavy moulded beams and strapwork plasterwork. Windows are set in deep splayed reveals revealing walls around one metre thick. A first-floor room to the west has a coved and moulded plaster Elizabethan ceiling decorated with fleur-de-lys, Tudor roses, and lions, with a brattished wall-plate to the east. The remains of a spiral stair are found within the central chimney wall of the north wing.
