Redgate House Farmhouse

Redgate House Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century with alterations made in the mid-18th century. It comprises two builds. The older part is constructed of coursed squared sandstone, with thinner courses in its initial construction, and has ashlar dressings, quoins, and a plinth. A smaller brick addition is present at the left of a projecting later build. It has a stone gutter cornice, with a later 20th-century gutter addition; a concrete-tiled roof with overlapping stone gable copings and brick chimneys. The older part is set back on the left and is two storeys high with two windows. The main house is symmetrical, also two storeys high, with five windows. The main entrance has a six-panel door with a two-pane overlight within a pedimented stone surround featuring Tuscan pilasters and a frieze with triglyph and guttae above each pilaster. Plain sash windows are set within architraves. Chamfered quoins are present. The left part has renewed windows in stone surrounds, and a ground-floor sill band that has been partially renewed. There are three corniced ridge chimneys. Inside, a five-panel door, originally an external door of the earlier house, retains a lift-latch escutcheon. A communicating door has a flat, Tudor-arched stone head. A cut-string, rectangular open-well staircase is located at the rear centre of the main house and features a moulded, wreathed ramped handrail on slender turned balusters, with block tread ends and wide-swept, lower steps with a curtail. Pilasters and a scroll-keyed arch frame the rear of the central passage, and a similar surround and cornice are found on a cupboard within a ground-floor room.
