Gatley Green Farmhouse

Gatley Green Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse with 20th-century additions to the side and rear. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with yellow brick headers. The roof is covered in Kerridge stone-slates, with a stone ridge and two brick chimneys on the gables. The main facade is symmetrical and three bays wide. The end bays have three-light wooden casement windows, which have been replaced and are deeper than the original windows; they are set within segmental brick arches. The central entrance has a framed and boarded door, also under a cambered brick head, with a two-light casement window and a fixed four-pane window in a gabled half-dormer above. The left-hand gable end has six windows, four set within segmental brick arches and one retaining its original fixed four-pane glazing. Internally, the farmhouse contains some heavy ceiling beams, but little else is noted. The farmhouse is similar in design to Dean Green Farmhouse and Walton’s Farmhouse, both in Nether Alderley, and to several other farms built on the Stanley estate around the same period.
