II*

The original portion of the building was erected by John Courthope in 1586 but was altered about 1840. Additions were also made in the early C19. The building is now L-shaped, the old portion facing south. Two storeys and attic. Four windows, the Westernmost window bay being an addition. Stuccoed front. Slate roof. Three gables overhanging on moulded bressummers and brackets. Below the outer gables is a similar overhang to the first floor and on the first floor bay windows with coves beneath them. The ground floor has C19 bays, and below the centre gable is a similar bay on first floor also. Casement windows. C19 gabled porch.

The East front dates from the early C19. Two storeys. Ten windows. Faced with buff mathematical tiles. Painted quoins. Parapet. Sash windows with glazing bars intact on first floor only. One bay of three windows on both floors, towards the south end.

This house has been the home of the Courthope family since 1512. The timbers for the roof of Westminster Hall were cut from this estate, as also were those for its repair after World War II.
