Description
Warnford Court is a house dated 1807, built for James Willis. It is constructed of rubble with an artificial stone slate roof and features two storeys and three bays in an L-shaped plan, with a rear wing to the right. The building has a plinth, quoins, and an ashlar band at the first floor. The openings are framed with brick surrounds. The central doorway, which has been altered in the 20th century, is flanked by two Tuscan columns that support a keyed wedge-shaped fascia board, and it features a slightly recessed 20th-century door with six fielded panels and an overlight with decorative glazing bars. The house has 16-pane sash windows, with round arches on the ground floor that include radial glazing bars above the panes, and the glass is crown glass. There are shaped ashlar gutter brackets and a hipped roof, with two stacks rising from the rear eaves. The right return of the house has three bays, with a central round-arched landing window that breaks the first-floor band and 16-pane sash windows on both floors. A rainwater head is cast with the characters "J & R W 1807".
