Description
Court Farm Inn is an inn that was originally a farmhouse, dating from the 17th century and extended, likely in 1721, by James Tuckett. It has been altered in the 20th century. The building features sandstone and limestone rubble walls topped with a half-hipped slate roof. There are two rendered axial stacks, one to the right of center and another towards the right end, which was originally a gable end stack. A small rendered lateral stack is located at the front towards the left-hand end, and at the rear of that end, there are two brick chimney shafts set in from the eaves.
Originally, the layout consisted of three rooms and a through-passage, with the lower room on the right, a hall stack backing onto the passage, and the lower room heated by the gable end stack. There is a newel staircase projecting at the rear of the hall. A plaque on the front of the porch indicates that the house was "rebuilt" in 1721, which likely refers to the porch and the one-room extension at either end of the house. A 19th-century barn extension is located at the left-hand end.
The inn is two storeys high with an asymmetrical seven-window front and a two-storey gabled porch to the right of center. All windows are 20th-century three-light casements with small panes and wooden lintels, likely set in 18th-century openings. The porch window is a two-light design. Between the two right-hand windows on the ground floor is a 20th-century part-glazed door, with a 19th-century panelled door to the far right. Above the porch window is a stone plaque stating, "This house was rebuilt by James Tuckett the Elder, Anno Dom 1721." The porch features a rubble round-headed arch. Inside the porch, there is a 17th-century square-headed ovolo-moulded oak doorframe leading to the former passage, along with a contemporary panelled oak door. At the rear, there is a rectangular stair projection to the right of center, featuring a 17th-century three-light ovolo-moulded wood mullion window. Similar windows are located on either side of the projection on the first floor and on the ground floor to the left of it. The interior includes a modernized open fireplace in the hall, and at the rear of the hall leading to the stair projection is a 17th-century chamfered wood door-frame with a depressed four-centred arch.
