Grove Court

Grove Court is a large detached farmhouse that dates from the late 16th century, with an early 19th-century addition and a rebuilding that took place in the late 19th century. The structure features a timber frame, coursed and squared limestone, and brick rebuilding, topped with a clay plain tile roof and stone slate on the south slope. It is designed in an L-plan and has two storeys.

The north front showcases close studding with a middle rail on the right half of the building. At the right end, there is a projecting gabled wing with a moulded bressumer supporting an upper floor jetty, along with long curved through bracing. The wing is adorned with pierced and shaped 19th-century bargeboards and features 19th-century single casement windows with triangular pointed heads. There is also a further 19th-century casement on the close-studded east side of the wing, along with a small single-light upper floor casement in the corner. To the left of the wing, there is a 19th-century casement in close studding and a timber porch with bargeboards.

The elevation continues to the left with an early 19th-century stone addition that includes segmental-arched openings and later 19th-century casements, as well as two ridge-mounted brick chimneys from the 19th century. The west end features a 19th-century brick gable end with two cambered-arched upper floor casements and a single ground floor casement below, along with a 19th-century bargeboard. The small framing on the side of the north wing includes a brick and stone projecting chimney with a 19th-century rebuilt shaft.

The east end has a rendered stone gable end with 19th-century bargeboards and an attached brick stable. The south side shows 19th-century rebuilding in brick, with scattered 19th-century casements in cambered-headed openings that have stone keys. A 19th-century gabled brick porch is located to the left of centre, featuring round-arched side windows and a glazed four-panel door. There is a lateral 19th-century brick chimney towards the west end, a plank door with a cambered brick arch to the right end, and beyond the stable, there is a segmental-headed doorway and a segmental-headed casement to the left. The interior has been extensively rebuilt during late 19th-century alterations. The timber framing is prominently visible from the adjacent motorway.
