Description
The Gables is a former single hall house that was later converted into three cottages. It dates from the early 17th century and is constructed of red brick with a rendered front. The building features a pantile roof with two projecting outer cross wings, each having stone coped gables and kneelers. There are single red brick ridge stacks on the right cross wing and at the junction of the left cross wing and the hall block. The structure is two storeys high and has four bays, set on a plinth.
The central section is a two-storey hall, with a service wing located in the right cross wing and a solar in the left cross wing. Between the hall and the service wing is a blocked screens passage. The original staircase is situated in the centre cottage, positioned between the hall and solar wings. A 20th-century casement window with a wood and plastic porch is located on the right side. Each cross wing has a single Yorkshire sash window with glazing bars, set under segmental arches, with the right window being slightly larger. Above these are two similar Yorkshire sashes under segmental arches, along with a large 20th-century casement window in the centre. The right wing also features two round tie plates. At the rear, there is a later lean-to extension. Inside, the building has chamfered beams.
