Description
Conigree Court is a large house with a complex history, dating from the late 16th century, with substantial alterations in the early 18th century and again in 1897, as evidenced by a datestone. The original core is timber-framed, featuring a high stone plinth and painted brick nogging. Later construction incorporates Flemish bond brickwork, tile hanging to the rear, and 1897 brickwork with stone dressings and timber framing with white panels on the first floor. The roof is tiled. The house is arranged around an H-shaped plan, approximately six windows wide and two rooms deep, with a central link.
The entrance front showcases a 16th-century wing on the right, characterized by horizontal timber panels, two per floor. It features a six-light mullioned window with leaded lights on each floor, and decorative infill within the lower half of the gable, including surface scalloping to the bargeboards. The left return has two three-light casement windows per floor, also with leaded lights and weatherboard sills, set within applied bolection-moulded frames. The rest of the front dates to 1897 and includes a six-panelled double door within a porch, approached by three stone steps, surmounted by a Tudor arch with sunk spandrels and a hoodmould. To the right is a set-back window with three lights and a mullion, and to the left, a single-storey infill containing a four-light mullion and transom window with plain stone coping above. A similar window is found on the left gable's ground floor, with leaded lights. The first floor features a close-studded timber framing with two unequal panels in height. A false Venetian window is situated on the porch, and a coved jetty extends over at collar level within the gable. Two three-light casement windows are present on the left, with large panes below and subdivided panes above. A four-light mullion and transom window sits in the gable, accompanied by decorative framing below the sill and above the window, and herringbone strutting in the gable. Gable bargeboards match those of the porch. A chimney is located on the left return and on the ridge at the junction with the cross wing.
At the rear, an 1897 gable is visible on the right, alongside an early 18th-century brick gable, a recessed wing, and a gable to the left. The right gable incorporates a plain string course and a large, semi-circular headed window that rises through the gable, featuring paired sashes with wide glazing bars on the bottom and a smaller pane at the top, set within a brick arch. Below the arch is a cambered brick arch over a built-up opening to the cellar. A dentil course is located at collar level, above which is tile hanging. A doorway is visible on the left return, alongside a double sash window with wide glazing bars. A six-panelled door, accessed by two stone steps under an open timber porch, is also present on the left. A projecting gable beyond has a brick plinth and a sash window with wide glazing bars, topped by a cambered brick arch that cuts through the string course. The first floor has a dentil course in the centre, stepping up over the door, above which is tile hanging and mullioned windows. The left gable has a three-light mullioned window with a cambered brick arch and a dentil course at collar level, surmounted by tile hanging and a two-light window in the apex. Further, a low 1897 wing extends on the left. The interior has not been inspected.
