Description
This is a large farmhouse, accompanied by a smaller cottage, constructed from stone with stone tile roofs. The main farmhouse appears to date from the 17th century, with later alterations. The north front faces the main prospect. A two-storey porch features a doorway with a three-centred moulded arch, above which is a small window with a dripmould. Inside the porch are stop-chamfered joists, a doorway with a very heavy chamfered doorframe, and a door made of four broad planks with old strap hinges. To the left of this porch, on the first floor, is a three-light window with reserved chamfers to the mullions, and a covered window. The ground floor to the left of the porch includes a doorway and three two-light windows, one with reserved chamfers. To the right of the porch, on the first floor, is a four-light window, and on the ground floor a broad six-light window with reserved chamfers. At the right end of the main block is a gabled section featuring a three-light window with diamond mullions in the attic, two two-light windows on the first floor, and a broad five-light window on the ground floor. The left return displays two windows to the attic, first floor, and ground floor, while the right return shows three windows to the first floor and one five-light ground floor window. The south side shows diagonal chimney stacks on the west gable and a tiny attic window; there are blocked openings on the first and ground floors. To the right is a first-floor window, followed by a tall chimney stack, and a bay with two-light windows on each floor. A doorway leads to a lobby, where the inner door has a three-centred head. A two-light window is visible on the ground floor. At a right angle is the west elevation of the east wing, which includes a lateral chimney and three two-light windows. The south gable end has a rectangular brick chimney, and a two-light window above a lean-to. The east elevation features a tiny window, a camber-headed window to the left of the doorway, two windows to the right, and two dormers.
The east wing, now known as Court Farm Cottage, is said to retain the upper parts of three cruck timbers, including a fireplace at the south end with stone jambs, and a stone stair in the gable wall. The main farmhouse is believed to contain a cross-passage with post-and-panel partitions to the left and right. A 17th-century hall to the right is entered through a three-centred doorway; remains of a dais canopy and a fireplace are present. In the west wing, a parlour retains panelling and window-seats, alongside a stone chimneypiece. A late 17th-century dog-leg stair with moulded balusters rises from the southwest corner of the hall to the first-floor great chamber.
