Court of Gladestry

Court of Gladestry is a two-storey building with a rear wing. The south front and parts of the rear elevations are rendered, while the upper storey is hung with shingle or tiles. The east gable end features exposed close-set timber framing with an attic jetty and an ovolo moulded bressummer. The ground floor is constructed of rubble, likely underbuilding a deeper jetty. Much of the timber framing appears to be from the 19th or 20th century, which may require closer inspection to identify any earlier elements. The building has a slate roof and three brick stacks, along with a late 19th-century open timber porch. The front door consists of four panels set in a heavy chamfered frame with ovolo architraving and an overlight. The boarded door leading to the dairy wing has a similar frame. Most windows feature a cross pattern with deep chamfered frames and ovolo moulded surrounds.

Inside, a small section of one cruck truss and wall post is visible, but the main structure is box framed with square panel framing. Originally, the house had three rooms, but one room, the old kitchen, has been enlarged, reducing the centre room to create an entrance hall. The old kitchen showcases deep chamfered exposed beams and joists, a stone flagged floor, an open fireplace with a voussoir lintel and keyblock, an overmantel, and a spit rack, along with 18th-century wall cupboards and a raised and fielded six-panel door to the hall. A steep flight of stone steps rises beside the fireplace. Two bedrooms contain early 19th-century cast iron hob grates. The dog leg stairs feature a squared newel and stick balusters.
