Description
Fountain Court is a country house built in 1916, likely designed by G. Kitchen for Sir George Thursby. The building features painted brick, tile-hanging, and some timber-framing, topped with a clay plain tile hipped roof and brick axial stacks. The layout consists of a long asymmetrical range with an entrance stair hall at the center of the northwest front, principal rooms facing the south garden front, and a service wing to the northeast.
The exterior is two storeys with an attic. The northwest entrance front is asymmetrical, with the roof sloping down over a porch situated between two hipped roof wings. The right wing has a large timber mullion-transom stair window, while the first floor features close-studded timber-framing on both sides. The projecting hipped roof flanking wings include a timber gallery on the right, and there is a service wing extending to the left, along with small hipped dormers.
The southeast garden front has two hipped roof wings, with two 2-storey square bay windows between them, featuring tile-hung first floors and braced eaves. To the right, there is a large 2-storey canted bay window with a hipped roof, and a service wing set back on the right includes a late 20th-century conservatory in the angle. The southwest end has two 2-storey square bay windows with a 2-bay loggia in between. The windows are framed with heavy oak mullion-transom frames and leaded pane casements, and both the plank doors and some windows have red tile relieving arches.
Inside, there are plank doors with wrought-iron hinges, latches, and locks, as well as an open-well oak staircase with turned balusters and large square newels. The interior was re-fitted in the late 20th century with panelling, cupboards, and chimneypieces.
