There are many reasons why Waterlow Court is frequently on any local heritage or architectural tour. Here are some of them:

• the timber-framed gateway, or lychgate, that opens under the covered walkway
• the cloister that runs the entire length of the courtyard and was so designed to prevent residents from being exposed to inclement weather
• the lime-washed brick
• the timber-framed exterior elevations
• the Bedford red clay plain tiles
• the high brick chimney stacks
• the decorative leaded downpipes
• the light blue oak plank doors, and
• the elm dog-leg staircases with decoratively finished balusters and newel posts.
