Long Court And Court Farmhouse With Boundary Wall And Gateway

Long Court and Court Farmhouse comprise two attached houses with a boundary wall and gateway, dating from the mid- to late 17th century, with early 19th-century additions by Edward Hogg. The buildings are constructed from ashlar and random rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys, a Welsh slate and concrete tile roof.

The houses are two storeys with an attic. The north end features a large Tudor-style cross-wing, which now forms Long Court, and two lower attached wings on the west side, linked by a boundary wall. The front of the cross-wing has a three-window facade with Tudor-headed mullioned casements – a three-light window to the outer, a two-light window to the centre, and a two-light window to the inner – all with hoodmoulds. A central Tudor-arched doorway has a hoodmould and a six-panel door with Tudor glazing bars to a fanlight. A moulded cornice sits above a plain parapet. A small, flat-roofed dormer has a leaded casement. A similar two-light casement and Tudor arched doorway are present on a small service wing to the right.

The east side has a two-window fenestration as to the front; the ground floor on the left has a three-light window reset in a 20th-century canted bay window addition, with matching single-light side windows. A cornice and parapet top a hipped roof and a central eaves-mounted chimney has a swept base and moulded cap. A range to the left forms the original 17th-century farmhouse and has no fenestration except for a small, eaves-level gabled dormer with leaded iron Tudor casements. A small attached garden house has an ogee-headed doorway and a small ogee-headed light.

The west side has a parapet gable end to the north wing, displaying a tall, pointed window with a hoodmould and Y-tracery, and a small, central two-light pointed attic casement above. A low gable-mounted chimney has a moulded cap. The lower farmhouse ranges run to the right, featuring a central lobby entry doorway with a six-panel door and flanking three-light ground floor mullioned casements; the left casement has been enlarged in the 19th century. A gabled eaves-mounted dormer is also present. A parapet-gabled end to a single-storey with attic 19th-century addition projects forward to the right, with a four-pane sash window on the south side and a gabled dormer above.

The south end has a single-window fenestration, with a 20th-century ground floor casement and a two-light casement on each floor above.

A boundary wall links the two service wings on the west side and continues north with a Tudor arched doorway, bearing a lintel inscribed 'LONG COURT'. Beyond the doorway is a gateway with Tudor panelled piers and a railed gateway, with convex flanking walls terminating in smaller square piers.
