Description

Court Place Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1790, as indicated by a date plaque, with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of stone rubble with a slate-hung facade and features a slate roof with slate-hung gable end stacks. The rear kitchen wing has a half-hipped slate roof. The layout is symmetrical, consisting of a two-room plan with a central staircase and a two-storey kitchen wing on the rear left side, along with a dairy outshut on the rear right side. There is a single shallow two-storey extension of one-room plan likely added in the 19th century at the right end of the main range.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a symmetrical three-bay main range, with an additional bay at the right end, making an overall four-window range. Each floor at the left end features four-paned sash windows. Above the timber porch, there is a two-light casement window with four panes per light, and the sides of the porch are infilled with brick. The porch is supported by shaped timber posts and has a half-glazed plank door. To the right, there is a similar two-light casement above a 19th-century 20-paned sash window. The added bay at the right end contains a 19th-century 12-paned sash window above a rectangular six-paned window. The slate date plaque on the left gable end reads, "This House was rebuilt by John Blackmore and Elizabeth in 1790." A brief inspection of the interior indicated that much of the 19th-century joinery, including panelled doors, the staircase, and integral cupboards, remains intact.
