Ferris Court Farmhouse

Ferris Court Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse located in Bisley-with-Lypiatt. It is constructed from random rubble limestone with an ashlar chimney and has a stone slate roof, which was missing at the time of the survey in June 1986. The building is two stories high and features a long range with a central cross-passage.

On the east side, there is a central doorway with a chamfered opening and a plank door. To the left of the doorway is a single-light opening, and to the right are two openings that indicate the staircase, all of which are recessed and chamfered with hoodmoulds. Each end of the elevation has a three-light casement on both floors, with an additional three-light window above and to the left of the doorway. The single-light openings have a central iron bar, while some of the other casements are missing, and those at the right end are now blocked. The north and south ends of the building have parapet gables, with the north end retaining a chimney with a moulded cap, while a similar chimney at the south end is missing. Each end features two single-light openings with hoodmoulds, and there is a two-light window with a hoodmould in the attic at the north end only.

The west side displays mixed fenestration, including a central doorway with a timber lintel. To the left of this doorway are three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements with hoodmoulds on both floors, along with a further two-light window to the left. There are also two two-light upper floor casements to the right, with an altered window and door opening further right. All casement fittings are missing, as noted on the east side.

Inside, there is a stone spiral staircase in the south gable end, and a mid-position stair on the east side in the former spiral staircase location. There is a plain chamfered opening to a central stone fireplace. Most of the internal timberwork has been destroyed following the removal of the roof. The farmhouse is said to be part of an ancient manor house and was in a state of decay at the time of the survey in June 1986.
