Court Farmhouse

The farmhouse is a substantial dwelling, likely dating to the 17th century with later alterations and additions, particularly in the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone, with most of the cement rendering now removed, and has a Welsh slate roof.

The main south elevation presents a symmetrical two-storey facade with five windows, all featuring 6-over-6 pane sashes within elliptical heads. A modern glazed door, sheltered by a gabled hood, occupies the second bay from the left on the ground floor. The fifth bay has a 6-panel door with the two top panels glazed, also under a gabled hood. To the right of this door are two blind bays, with sunk panels on both floors, and a wall stack positioned between them. Further stacks are located at the left-hand end of the house and centrally behind the ridge. To the right of this front elevation is a four-window extension facing east; this is cement rendered and has a hipped roof with end stacks, with 6-over-6 pane sashes in elliptical heads.

A mid-19th century wing adjoins the main range on the north side. It features two 3-light casement windows with elliptical heads; a blind gable end and the rear wall has two further 3-light windows on the upper floor only, with the ground floor appearing to be back-to-earth. A 6-over-6 sash window in the angle between the wings suggests it is an extension to an earlier structure. The rear of the main range incorporates a 3-light casement window on the upper floor, with the ground floor obscured by a corrugated asbestos roof over the yard. A half-hipped wing projects centrally, and its added roof reveals two 2-light windows with reserved chamfers which indicate the original 17th-century origins of the house. The west gable end features a projecting two-storey porch with 2-light casement windows and a hipped roof, and the main gable has a garret window with a 2-over-2 pane sash.

Internally, the house has undergone considerable alteration, retaining features from both the early and late 18th century, including some contemporary fireplaces. A late 18th-century dog-leg staircase features turned balusters, newel posts, a cut string, and a ramped softwood handrail. Two early 18th-century 2-panel doors are found along the upper corridor. The kitchen still retains its original bacon rack.
