Description Court House dates back to the 16th Century, and is the surviving wing of a much larger property that was home to the local courts of justice. This unique and historic home has been called a manor house in miniature and enjoys many outstanding period features. These include stunning Italianate moulded plaster ceilings in the drawing room and master bedroom above, the Tudor staircase and flagstone floor in the reception hall, and the Tudor fireplace in the drawing room. The handsome elevations are mainly of stone with brick and render to the rear, under a mostly tiled roof with stone to the lower courses, and feature beautiful stone mullioned windows with leaded lights, a projected oriel bay window to the front, and superb chimney stacks. The property has been extended and improved by the present owners over the last 32 years, including the addition of a useful ground floor family room, guest bedroom with en suite shower room and adjoining conservatory, which could be arranged as an annexe if so desired. The reception hall has a flagstone floor and an impressive Tudor staircase with carved newel posts, the triple aspect drawing room has a magnificent moulded plaster ceiling and a fine stone fireplace with log burner, the dining room has a door to the garden, and opens into the fitted kitchen with larder. From the kitchen a door leads to the family room with doors to the secluded rear garden, the utility/boot room has access to the integral garage with wine store and also to the bedroom with en suite shower room, doors from the bedroom open in to the semi-circular conservatory.
