Kirk House

Kirk House is an early 18th-century house located on Main Street in Gisburn. It is built from coursed slobbered rubble and features a stone slate roof. The house has a symmetrical design with two storeys and two bays, along with end stacks. The windows are framed with stone surrounds that have angle bead mouldings, and they include square mullions and transoms. The first-floor windows consist of six lights, while the ground-floor windows have been altered to five lights, with the mullions and transoms restored in timber. The front door is adorned with an architrave that has a pulvinated frieze and a moulded segmental pediment. The door itself features bolection mouldings on the lower panels, and the upper panels, which are now glazed, have moulded surrounds with rounded shouldered heads. Above the first floor, there is a blank circular plaque with a moulded surround. Inside, the right-hand front room contains a wide chamfered fireplace with a segmental arched head, and there is a bread oven set into its side wall.
