Description
A pair of houses, one incorporating a shop, dating to the late 17th century, with possible earlier elements in the Court Stores wing, and 19th-century additions. The walls are rendered cobb and rubble construction. The roof is thatched, gabled to the left end and hipped to the right, with a brick stack at the left end and another axial to the wing; the wing's stack has a rendered rubble base and a brick shaft.
The front range, which consists of Court Stores and an adjoining cottage to the left, may originally have been a single house, but now each section comprises two rooms, the outer ones being heated. Behind the right-hand end of Court Stores is a wing that may predate the front range. To its left is a 19th-century rear outshut.
The front has a regular 6-window façade. Both houses have circa mid-19th century 9-pane sash windows on the first floor. Corner House has two 19th-century 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor, while Court Stores has a similar window to the right and a late 20th-century 2-light casement without glazing bars to the left. Both houses share identical late 19th-century doorhoods with cusped bargeboards. Corner House has a late 20th-century panelled and glazed door, and a 19th-century lean-to against its left-hand end. The wing behind Court Stores has 20th-century casements and a 20th-century panelled and glazed door to the left.
Inside Court Stores, there is a 17th-century fireplace with a chamfered spine beams with run-out stops to the wooden lintel, and a clom oven with a door in the right-hand room. There is also an 18th-century pegged A-frame roof structure.
