Description
Courtfield House is a former parochial chapel dating from the 13th century. It was desecrated in the 16th century and later converted into a cottage. The building is constructed of ham stone, with some grey lias rubble and ashlar, and features a plain clay tile roof between coped gables, along with a stone chimney with offsets at the east end. The roadside elevation is the west gable, which has the remains of a blocked lancet window at a higher level, with a later casement window below. This gable is flanked by eaves-height buttresses with offsets. On the north elevation, there is an apparently 16th-century doorway set within the remains of a pointed-arched doorway. A small 19th-century extension is located at the east end. The interior has not been seen, but a previous listing mentions hollow-chamfered ceiling beams and a later 16th-century stone fireplace.
