• notes: Farmhouse. Mid C19. Squared stone rubble with quoins and other details in dressed Devonian limestone and red sandstone. Slated roof. Squared stone rubble chimneys, formerly with brick shafts; now only rendered stumps. Double-fronted main range with centre entrance leading to staircase. Rear wing to right, forming one side of an enclosed service courtyard to left. This has former wash house and ash house. 2 storeys with garret. Designed in C16/C17 Cotswold farmhouse style, though without the stone-mullioned windows and (with one exception) hoodmoulds. 3 windows wide, the centre window in a gabled projection with kneelers; the quoins of red sandstone, contrasting with limestone elsewhere. Centre doorway has 4-centred chamfered arch of voussoirs; red sandstone jambs and hoodmould. At either side a slit window. Windows have flat arches with limestone voussoirs; wood mullioned-and-transomed window frames with horizontal glazing bars. Gable ends similar, with parapet copings and kneelers. INTERIOR: wooden staircase with thin square balusters and turned newels. Subsidiary features: buildings in service courtyard single-storeyed. Ash house loaded from a flight of stone steps, emptied through a small brick-framed hole at ground level. Stone rubble garden walls; tall on north-east and north-west, low on the other 2 sides. That on south-west side has a chamfered coping of stones on edge; it curves inwards towards recessed square gate piers with pyramidal caps. Churston Court Farmhouse is a well-preserved mid C19 layout of uniform architectural character. It has always been part of the Churston Court Estate. The farm buildings are separately listed (qv) and with the farmhouse form a complete and fine group of its date. Listing NGR: SX9048056480
