Fair Lawn House

Fair Lawn House is a County Court Office dating from around 1770, with an older cottage situated at the rear. The front of the building is constructed of ashlar, with a slightly rougher rubble extension to the right, which is not considered to be of special architectural interest. It features a rusticated plinth, a modillion cornice, a parapet, and chimneys with decorative capping. The two-storey front has five windows, with multi-paned sash windows set within moulded architraves. A moulded cill runs along the ground floor, and a continuous cill string runs along the first floor. The central doorway has an architrave surround, a cornice, and a fluted frieze adorned with circular decorations. The original panelled door retains cross-shaped lower panels and a cusp-headed central panel. The roof is slate at the front and tiled at the rear, with a two-and-a-half-story, mansard extension to the rear and a gabled stair turret in the angle. Inside, a small arch leads to an elegant curved staircase with arabesque detailing on the string and a partially surviving ramped mahogany dado. On the ground floor, the room on the right has a cornice from around 1800, as well as a rose and a recessed segmented head. The room on the left features an enriched cornice and a fireplace with an egg and dart surround and a narrowed frieze. A late 18th century Adam-style fireplace is located on the first floor within the rear extension.
