The Court House

The Court House is a classical building from the 19th century featuring a single storey and a five-bay ashlar front. It has a plinth and buff stone dressings, including a cornice and rusticated end pilasters adorned with vermiculated ornament. The central bay is advanced and has a cross gable with an open pediment supported by similar pilasters, a design that is also repeated on the end walls. The building has a slate roof and stone chimney stacks, with a broad cross gable featuring a bull's eye design rising behind the front roof and a truncated stack at the ridge.

At the centre of the facade is the royal coat of arms, flanked by a seated lion and horse on a bracketed ledge. Below this, there is a tripartite window with arched-headed lights, keystones, pilasters, and a bracketed cill, featuring sash glazing without glazing bars. On either side of the central window are bipartite windows, and there are arched entrances at both ends. The left entrance has a stable-type door, while the right features an ornately panelled door.

The end walls are made of ashlar, with the left side facing the drive leading to the hilltop and the right side adjoining a modern extension to the annedd. There is a bipartite sash window on the left-hand rear gable. A higher two-storey courtroom range extends to the centre rear, featuring end pilasters and bipartite arched-headed sash windows with bracket cills on the upper floor, with no windows on the lower floor. Inside, the courtroom retains a bracket cornice around the double doors.
