Description

Bromsberrow Court is a farmhouse that dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with significant enlargements made in the early 18th century and alterations in the early to mid-19th century, as well as the 20th century. The front of the building, which faces the church, features English garden wall bond brickwork, while the right wing has brick-nogged timber framing. The rear wall and part of the side of the rear wing are constructed of rubble stone, with the rest of the building made of brickwork from various periods. The front roofs are covered in slate, while the remaining roofs are tiled.

The structure has an irregular 'T'-plan with a three-bay front that is two and a half storeys high, and lower extensions. The main facade facing the church includes a 20th-century single-storey hipped porch at the center with a tiled roof and a panelled door. On either side of the porch are sixteen-pane sash windows topped by cambered brick arches. To the right, there is a 19th-century single-storey hipped porch with French doors. Slightly set back on the right is a one and a half storey timber-framed wing, with a short single-storey brick extension in front that has a 16-pane sash window and a parapet that reaches up to the garden wall. A single-storey extension was added to the front on the left in 1984.

On the first floor, there are 16-pane sash windows at each end, with a narrow 12-pane window in the center, all featuring cambered brick arches. The building has plain brick gable chimneys at the ridge, with one located at the rear left. Inside, the section facing the church has a dogleg staircase in the center with square newels, a moulded handrail, and sinuous splat balusters, which extend to the attics. The ground floor doors were renewed in the mid-20th century, with one door on the left incorporating medieval panels. The first room on the ground floor of the rear wing has heavy chamfered ceiling beams from the 17th century, and timber framing is visible in the cross wall and two former external walls extending to two bays beyond. A large external chimney is engulfed in a circa 1940 extension at the end, and a brick extension towards the farmyard was added around 1870. The farmhouse forms a group with the nearby Church of St. Mary.
