Haresfield Court

Haresfield Court is a former country house, now divided into flats. The core of the building dates to approximately 1676 and was constructed by John Rogers. It was refronted and enlarged to the east in 1869 by Francis Niblett, and further enlarged to the west in 1893 by Waller & Son. The house is mainly constructed of ashlar with a stone slate roof, though a small section to the south is built of brick and tile. The north range retains original 17th-century ashlar stacks, positioned externally to the left, and features grouped square ashlar flues with a moulded cornice. A similar arrangement is present on the west range, dating from the 19th century. Brick ridge stacks are visible on the east range.

The house consists of two long, parallel ranges, an original north wing which is now arranged crosswise, and a projecting gabled wing to the west. The north front has a large, projecting gable on the left and a recessed gable centrally, both topped with finials and kneelers. A single-storey porch, with a similar gable, sits in the angle and contains a small, stepped trefoil-headed three-light window above a Tudor-arched doorway, which is set beneath a square hoodmould. The windows are generally stone mullion or mullion and transom casements, some with square hoodmoulds. The recessed section has five two-light windows across the ground and first floors, linked by a continuous dripmould. The 19th-century west wing is in a style similar to the earlier work, and includes a large, single-storey canted bay on the projecting gabled section. The east elevation, dating from the 1860s, has five large twelve-pane sash windows with a keystone and voussoirs, six gabled two-light dormers, and a large gable at the south end, featuring a curved five-light stone mullion and transom oriel window on the first floor. The interior is reported to have been significantly altered during conversion to flats.
