Farleigh Court

Farleigh Court is a detached house that was formerly a rectory, built in the 17th century with an extension added in the 18th century. The front elevation features coursed, squared rubble Doulting stone, with a projecting first-floor string course and a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is made of stone slate, gabled with copings, and has ashlar stone end chimney stacks that rise in two stages with moulded caps. The original 17th-century building is two stories with an attic and has an "L" plan, which was enlarged in the 18th century by adding a two-story range to the front, creating a double pile and a wing at the rear. The five-window front is arranged in a 2-1-2 pattern, with a central entrance. The windows are 12-pane sash windows set in moulded stone frames, and the entrance features a six-panel door with a transom light above, all framed by moulded stone architraves and topped with a stone pediment on brackets. The 17th-century part of the house includes two-light stone mullion and transom windows in moulded surrounds, while the 18th-century wing has hipped stone slate roofs. The interior is said to contain simple plaster cornices and friezes, as well as fireplace surrounds from the early to mid-18th century, reflecting the Adam period. The 17th-century building is reputed to have "A"-frame trusses with curved diagonal windbracing.
