Description
Widdop Gate is a house built in the first half of the 18th century, with an early 19th-century addition. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and consists of two cells. Originally, there was a doorway with a chamfered surround that provided direct access to the second cell. On either side of this entrance, there are single chamfered mullioned windows with three lights, while the first floor has windows with five lights and six lights. Quoins indicate the division between the single-cell addition, which includes a doorway with monolithic jambs and a two-light, slightly chamfered mullioned window on each floor. The building has quoins and a gable stack, along with another stack on the ridge.
Inside, there is a stone fireplace featuring monolithic jambs and a lintel with a cyma moulded shelf.
