Description
The Court House is a house dating from around 1700, which was restored in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick featuring purple headers and enders inserted irregularly throughout, with an irregular bond. The building has steeply pitched slate roofs with coped verges and brick stacks located on both sides of the main block and on the left gable end of a slightly lower service block that has its own roof. The house is a single pile with gabled additions at the rear and stands two storeys tall with an attic, comprising three bays on the left and five on the right. All windows are from the late 20th century, including three gabled dormer casements in the main block, with one on the left and cruciform windows elsewhere. The entrance is located at the centre of the main block and features a six-panel door beneath a wooden shell hood porch supported by Tuscan Doric columns set on plinths. There is also an entrance to the service wing, which is the third bay on the left and has a late 20th-century plank door.
