Court Farmhouse

Most of the C17 features have been removed or hidden by later changes. C19 features are insignificant or have been removed. Ceiling beams with bar-and-scroll stops in the centre part. No surviving fireplaces of interest. Surviving timber winding stair through both floors of which the upper flight survives in much more authentic character complete with plank door with cranked head and iron strap hinges. A-frame roof halved and pegged at the apex and with a slight diagonally set ridge piece, the most easterly section is probably rather later as a slightly lower ridge line is evident. The most westerly end of the range has a room reached by an external stair, part of the floor of the upper room has been removed.

Plastered and painted, probably over rubble stone, stone tiles to front roof, Welsh slate to rear with artificial slates to outshut. Rectangular two cell block extended at both ends and with an outshut in centre of rear. Two storeys and attics. Three window front with three over three Victorian sashes except for the central hall window on the ground floor which is four over four. All the windows have the dripmoulds characteristic of the early/mid C19 alterations on the Pontypool Park estate. The door is to the left of the central window. This is a C17 nailed plank door with strap hinges in a cranked head and with a cranked hood on modillions. Above this is a small pentice supported on four beam ends with modillions above, hipped stone tile roof. Above the pentice is a gabled full dormer in the same plane as the wall; this also has a three over three sash with hoodmould. Three stacks on the ridge of which the end ones are modern red brick and the central one stone. The right gable end is plain except for the added stack. The left gable end has a first floor entry up steps, hood over, garret light above.

The rear elevation has a small paned casement under an oak lintel and a porch to the cross passage entry. Largely modernised outshut to the left of this with large new red brick stack.
