Description
Sturden Court and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn located on Bristol Road in Pye Corner, dating from the early 17th century. The building underwent reordering and received new sash windows in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the barn being added in the early 19th century. The structure is built of rubble and features double Roman tiles and pantiles on the roofs. It has an L-plan layout that has been extended.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has four windows, including one in a protruding gabled wing. The windows consist of various casements and 19th-century glazing bar sashes. There is a hipped lean-to porch located in the re-entrant angle, and the wing features a stud and plank door beneath a chamfered lintel. The first-floor casements rise as eaves dormers, and similar gabled rear wings create a courtyard effect.
The taller attached barn has a central door on the ground floor, two first-floor pitching doors, and long vents. A rear lean-to extension obscures a large entrance with an elliptical head. Inside the farmhouse, there is a blocked inglenook and a deep chamfered, framed ceiling in the right (east) ground floor room.
