Gamston Manor And Attached Cottage

Gamston Manor and the attached cottage is a house and cottage that dates back to the 17th century, with additions and alterations made in the late 18th century and 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick, with some sections in ashlar, and features a slate roof.

The structure is two storeys high, plus a garret, and consists of six bays, with the left bay being gabled. The original 17th-century three-bay house has been heightened, leaving a band of dogtooth brickwork that marks the original roof line. The two right ground floor bays are made of ashlar. To the right, there are two late 18th-century bays, and to the left, a single gabled bay from the late 18th century cross wing.

The façade features, from left to right, a single glazing bar casement window under a segmental arch, a doorway with a panelled door and a three-pane overlight topped with a pedimented Doric porch, two large glazing bar casements with a central carved ashlar human head corbel, a pair of glazing bar sashes under a segmental arch, and another single sash under a segmental arch. Above the ground floor, there are three glazing bar sashes in the 17th-century wing, a single glazing bar sash under a cambered arch to the right, and an oriel window with a pair of glazing bar casements at the front and single similar casements on the sides. In the garret of the cross wing, there is a single glazing bar casement.

To the right, set back, is a brick and slate lean-to with two openings under segmental arches. Attached to the rear of the late 18th-century bays is a cottage from the same period, which has had its openings altered. The south front of the cross wing features four bays, a single ridge stack, and decorative elements such as dogtooth brickwork and raised brick and dentil eaves bands. It has four French windows under segmental arches, with four glazing bar sashes above, and a single roof dormer with a tripartite glazing bar casement.

Inside the 17th-century bays, there is a single studded panel on the first floor, and the roof features an arch-braced collar truss.
