Tor Court

Tor Court is a farmhouse that was formerly a mansion house, dating from the late 17th century, likely around 1677, as indicated by a date plaque. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with the front painted, and features a slate roof. It is two storeys tall, with single-storey additions on either side. The layout is a four-square double-depth plan, with the rear section covered by a pair of roofs set at right angles to the front and hipped.

The front of the building has three windows and a central doorway on the ground floor. This doorway features a chamfered lintel with scroll-stops and is topped by a flat hood supported by shaped timber brackets, above which is a later slated pent roof. Above this, there is a slate plaque dated 1761. The windows have flat arches with voussoirs and are 3-light windows with lightly-moulded wood mullions that may be original, though they have 19th-century 4-pane glazing and central 4-pane timber casements. The eaves cornice is coved wood.

Each gable of the front range has a projecting stone chimney stack with offsets and a tapered top, both heightened with a brick shaft. There is a similar stack at the rear of the right-hand wall, but it does not project. In the center of the rear wall, there is a stone tablet with the initials ACT and the date 1677.

Inside, the front door opens into an entrance hall with a plain early or mid-19th-century wooden staircase. There are rooms on either side of the hall, both featuring chamfered ceiling beams. The left-hand room has beams with scroll-stops, while the right-hand room has beams with run-out stops. This latter room also contains a fitted early 18th-century cupboard with raised-and-fielded panelled doors and shaped strap-hinges. The right-hand rear room has a fireplace with a chamfered wood lintel, which is mutilated and has scroll-stops. Original fireplaces are likely concealed under plaster on both storeys. The upper storey has not been inspected.
