Description
Former farm buildings associated with Manor Court Farm, converted to residential use in the 1930s. The buildings were converted in a ‘Tudorbethan style, similar to that of the listed Tudor Court opposite (also former farm buildings). Varied tiled roofs and tall decorative chimney stacks. Rendered, mock timber framing, flint walls and brick dressings. Carved timber bargeboards to gables. Leaded windows throughout. The buildings are set close to the streetfront, with a low flint wall to the boundary. The buildings predate the formal creation of Dean Court Road in the c.1930s. Before this, the route provided access into the farmyard alone.
