Captains Court

Captains Court is a former stable block, now converted into a terrace of six houses. It was built in the mid-18th century and subsequently altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with flared headers, featuring limestone dressings, slate mansard roofs to the wings, a hidden 20th-century roof over the central pavilion, and brick ridge stacks.

The building has three distinct parts. The central pavilion, a three-storey block with three windows, is flanked by two-storey wings, each with seven windows. The main south-facing front has a tall, central round-headed rusticated carriage arch, now glazed, flanked by mullion and transom windows with moulded stone sills, plain stone surrounds, and keyblocks on the ground and first floors. The wings have similar mullion and transom windows with matching surrounds, alternating with round-headed rusticated doorways. Second-floor windows and attic windows have leaded casements, moulded stone sills, plain surrounds, and keyblocks. The building includes a plinth, rusticated angles to the wings and the central pavilion, storey bands at the first floor, and stone-coped parapets. The wings have 20th-century roof dormers. The central pavilion has a coved and moulded wooden cornice at the second floor level and a moulded stone cornice to the base of the parapet, which incorporates pilaster strips to the angles and urns to the corners.

The north-facing rear front has a similar design but varies in some details. The central pavilion has two circular windows above the spandrels of the archway, with plain stone surrounds and no wooden cornice at the attic floor level. The wings have 20th-century entrance porches, nos. 1-6, alongside windows with moulded stone sills and gauged brick lintels with stone keyblocks. A modern extension has been added to the eastern wing.
