Description

Court House is a detached house that likely has a core from the 16th century, with alterations and additions from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, and a restoration in the 20th century. The building is constructed from coursed rubble with rusticated dressed stone quoins, buttresses, and window surrounds, featuring half-timbering on the porch and gabled stone slate roofs with stone stacks, some of which have moulded caps. The house has an irregular E-shaped plan, with the original 16th-century section on the right and later extensions on the left.

The southeast front has two storeys, projecting end wings, and a central two-storey porch topped with a half-hipped roof and timber framing. The windows are all single lights set in edge-moulded architraves, with 20th-century casements on the left side and sash windows on the right side, except for a ground floor window in a recessed bay, which is a three-light mullion window with a hoodmould. The central doorway to the porch features a cambered, keyed arch and a part-glazed plank door. There is also one hipped dormer on the right side.

Inside, there is a central stone-flagged passage with a wishbone-arched oak doorframe to the right. The central open-plan room on the left has an oak-framed ceiling divided into four moulded compartments. The staircase, located opposite the porch in the rear tower, dates from the 17th century and features turned balusters and a ramped handrail. The right-hand section has a butt-purlin, collar-beam roof structure.
