Description
Gell Farm Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1894 by Douglas and Fordham for the 1st Duke of Westminster. It is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings and features a grey slate roof with red ridge tiles. The building has two storeys and an asymmetrical front with three bays, with the entrance located in the left bay. It is topped with two shaped gables that are coped in terra cotta and adorned with ball finials. The farmhouse has two ornate chimneys with stone plinths. The front windows are iron casements with intact leaded glazing, set in moulded-brick mullioned openings that have a flat ogee head for each light. The entrance features framed and boarded shaped double doors made of oak, which are part glazed and set in a basket-arched doorway of moulded brick.
Inside, there is a wide closed-string staircase that includes newels and two turned balusters per step, along with moulded flat balusters on the landing. The interior also features six-panel doors with moulded stiles, muntins, and rails.
