Description

Cathedral Court, consisting of Nos. 1-5 in sequence, is a building constructed from random polychromatic rubble, featuring bands of thin, roughly dressed coloured stone and pale ashlar quoins and dressings. It has Welsh slate roofs and an asymmetrical design with Gothic details. The structure is two storeys high, with an attic storey in the gable ends. It includes mullioned and transomed windows, as well as some windows with two-centred heads.

The entrance front, facing south-west, has six bays, with the end bay gabled. From north to south, the first bay contains 2-light windows with flat heads and a transom on the ground floor, all of which are plate glass sashes. The second and third bays are recessed, with the third bay featuring a 3-light window with cinquefoil heads on the first floor, and a two-centred doorway along with a 2-light window with a quatrefoil in the head on the ground floor. The fifth bay has a large staircase window, which is two-centred and of 2-lights, with a porch to the left that includes colonettes and a curved buttress, as well as a 2-light window in the left return. The sixth bay consists of a gable end with a stack on the verge.

The south-east facing front, which overlooks the garden, has three bays, with a large two-storey canted bay at the right-hand end and a two-centred doorway in between. All windows are sash windows, and there is one gabled dormer. The rear elevation is only visible from a distance but features a large 2-light window in a gabled half dormer, a gabled roof dormer, and a massive kitchen stack that has been truncated. The roofs are steeply pitched with tall ramped stacks.

The interior of No. 2 was the only part observed during the resurvey, which is the upper floor of the main house. The main staircase remains, featuring a moulded balustrade and knop finials, and the Dean's Chapel, now serving as the sitting room, has an apse into the bay window with the altar dais still in place. However, the rest of the interior appears to have been significantly modernised when the building was divided around 1990.
