Old Court

The interior has a lobby-entry plan with central back-to-back fireplaces to the principal rooms R and L. From the entrance is an unusual tunnel-vaulted passage beneath the combined chimney leading to the rear stair projection. The room to the L of the entrance has a timber lintel to the fireplace and 2 cross beams. A cross beam in the R-hand room has an ogee stop. The C17 full-height open-well stair has turned balusters and newels. The attic has a 4-bay roof, of which the trusses have tie and collar beams. Openings through the trusses, which formerly held partitions, have shallow triangular heads. The attic has a stone fireplace with a rough shelf above it. The N wing has an attic fireplace filled in.

A large 2½-storey house, the original core of which comprises a main range facing the street, with gabled stair projection behind to the centre and rear wing to its L, forming an approximate L-shaped plan, to which have been added a lower parallel wing to the L (W) side of the front and a projection behind the rear wing housing the court room, giving the whole building an approximate T-shaped plan. The main range has a late C19 front of roughcast walls painted white, channelled in the lower storey and scribed above with rusticated quoins, slate roof with large rendered C17 stack R of centre and a C19 R end stack, and crested ridge tiles, while the rear wing has a brick end stack. The lower storey has 4 bays with the entrance to the centre-R. This has a porch on timber posts and replaced door. The other ground-floor windows are late C19 metal-frames with thin glazing bars, but in earlier openings, and have rusticated lintels with heads to the keystones. The upper storey has a sill band on a frieze of small consoles, incorporating five 4-pane horned sash windows below a corbelled eaves band. Three equally placed gabled dormers have 4-pane horned sash windows under head mouldings, while the gables project on consoles and have fretted barge boards and pendant finials. The R gable end has similar barge boards and finial, and bands continuous with the front sill and eaves bands.

To its L is the lower 2-storey wing, which has a similar roughcast front to the main range. In the lower storey are 3 windows with thin metal glazing bars also similar to the main range, while in the upper storey are similar windows L and R carried above the eaves under gablets. The L gable end has a segmental-headed first-floor doorway. The rear has 2 inserted pairs of French doors, wood-framed casement carried above the eaves upper R and small-2-light casement upper L. The 2-window W side wall of the N wing has 2-light mullioned windows with hood moulds, except lower R which has an inserted wood-framed casement in the original opening, which retains its hood mould.

On the E side of the rear of the main range is a triple small-pane horizontal-sliding sash window in the lower storey, immediately R of which is the stair projection, which has a segmental-headed boarded door in its E wall. In the N wall is a 3-light mullioned window with hood mould in the lower storey and a small window to its L, above which is a horizontal-sliding sash window to the upper landing. The middle landing has a 3-light small-pane E window with wooden mullions (but stone mullions are retained on the inside). The N wing retains a 2-light mullioned upper-storey window, while in the lower storey is a triple horizontal-sliding sash window to the R and a replaced door to the L under a segmental head. In its gable end, above the lower N projection, is a single attic window in a dressed stone surround L of centre, and a similar upper-storey window to the L side. Both have weathered hood moulds. The N projection is C19 but has mainly altered details. In its E wall it has inserted garage doors under a steel lintel with double-boarded doors, flanked on the L side by a brick lean-to and on the R by a segmental-headed 2-light casement. The upper storey has 2 inserted windows below the eaves. In the N gable end are external stone steps, with treads renewed in concrete, to a C20 boarded door. The NE angle has voussoirs of a stone arch to a projection further N, while the NW angle is attached to a separate property (Y Bwthyn).
