Description
Gathurst Fold Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed of stone with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features three bays. The building has rusticated quoins, and the windows are fitted with plain architraves and are sashed with glazing bars. However, the ground floor of the third bay has a single-bar sash, while the first floor has a casement window. The porch includes quoins, a band, and a blocking course, with an elliptical-arched opening. Gable-end stacks complete the structure.
