Description
The Court House, which includes farm outbuildings in the rear yard, is a three-unit house dating from around 1695. It faces south and features a cross-passage between the left and centre units. The name "Court House" comes from its historical use as a courtroom, with the left unit serving as the courtroom. Over time, it has also functioned as a farmhouse.
The exterior is constructed of rubble masonry that has been rendered and whitened. The building is two storeys high and has a roof covered with small slates, with a chimney for each unit. The end chimneys have their flues within the wall thickness, and the chimney stacks above the roof are made of brick from the 19th century. The front has a range of four windows, featuring four-pane sashes from the 19th and 20th centuries, with slate sills. There is an oven projection on the right side, and the front door is a six-panel design with a hood supported by shaped brackets. At the rear, there is a full-width extension that is mostly original and includes an oven. The front yard is enclosed by a low wall with wrought-iron railings set into the coping, featuring wrought-iron struts and a gate topped with arrow-head spikes.
Inside, the cross-passage leads from the front door to the stairs, which are located within the rear extension. The right unit, which was the old kitchen, has a large fireplace that projects externally on the east side, along with a large bread oven, although the front of the oven is missing. There is also a cellar beneath the left unit.
The small rear farmyard includes a cowshed with a heck door on the north side, which has a blocked low arch in its south wall facing the yard. To the east, there is a larger cowshed with a granary above it, accessible via stairs at the south end. The doors are boarded with timber lintels. Attached to the house on the south side are a small stable and a shed, all built with rubble masonry and covered with slate or sheeted roofs.
The Court House is listed for its regional character, the old farm buildings surrounding its rear yard, and the wall with iron railings at the front, as well as for its group value with the nearby Church.
