Description
The Gables is a farmhouse that includes a rear wing and outbuildings, dating from the late 17th century and the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed from brick, pebbledash, and whitewash, featuring gabled and lean-to roofs made of plain tiles and slate. The building has a brick plinth and cogged bands on the first and second floors, with coped gables and a single 17th-century shouldered curved coped gable. There are six gable stacks, one of which is buttressed. The structure is two storeys high with garrets and is three bays wide, arranged in an L-plan with a double-depth rear wing.
The windows are primarily mid-19th-century glazing bar sashes. The southwest front has two large sashes with segmental heads, and above them is a central glazing bar stair light, flanked by larger sashes at a higher level. The northwest front features the rear wing and wash house on the left and a wing with a shaped gable on the right. There is a 20th-century door on the left and a Yorkshire sash with a segmental head on the right. In the return angle, there is an early 19th-century Classical cast iron porch and door with an overlight, above which is a sash with a segmental head and a late 19th-century sash to its right.
On the northeast side, there is a Yorkshire sash on the left and a casement with a 20th-century bay window on the right, with a casement above. The rear elevation has an off-centre door flanked by a sash and a casement, all with segmental heads. To the right, the wash house contains a Yorkshire sash and door, with a sash and another Yorkshire sash above. There is also a Yorkshire sash leading to the garret. Inside, there is a shallow pitch late 17th-century dogleg stair with landings, square newels, a moulded handrail, and vase-shaped splat balusters. The attic stair is made of softwood with a stud partition wall. The roof features principal rafters with tenoned purlins. Notable interior elements include a late 18th-century Adam style hob grate with a curved back and cartouches depicting figures, an ogee-shaped basket, and a plain ashlar surround, as well as a late 19th-century fireplace with a marble surround and two 18th-century two-panel doors.
