Description
The Courtyard House at Mathern Palace is a barn constructed from roughly coursed local rubble, topped with a pantile roof. The entrance side is mostly hidden and features a door, a window, and a small modern extension. It is a single-storey building with a garret, showcasing a plain roof that includes an external stack on the left and a coped gable on the left side, while the right gable is plain. The courtyard side displays three 3-light mullioned leaded lattice casements, which have oak cills and lintels typical of Tipping's buildings. These openings appear to have been added to the existing wall. Additionally, one corner of the building is connected to the remaining jamb of the 15th-century entrance gateway to Mathern Palace.
The interior was fully modernized in the 1980s and features a three-bay roof with principal rafters, although it is likely that this was entirely renewed.
