Description
Gillowfold Farmhouse is a building that has been divided into two units. It has a core dating from the 15th century, with a wing added in 1676 and a mid-18th century wing and other additions. The 17th century part is constructed of coursed stone, while the 19th century wing is made of red brick, all topped with blue machine tile roofs and featuring end stacks. The farmhouse has a 'T'-plan layout, which is typical of hall and cross wing designs, and it has been extended to the east.
The front of the building is two stories high and features four windows arranged in two sections. To the right is a gabled stone wing with verge parapets and shaped kneelers. It includes a labelled 2-light chamfered mullion attic window at the apex, which is built into the end stack. There is a similar 4-light window on the first floor, slightly offset to the right, with a datestone above inscribed "WSE 1676". A further 4-light mullioned window is located at the extreme right of the ground floor. To the left is a set-back early 19th century brick wing with dentilled eaves and an end stack, which has three sash windows featuring raised painted keystones, although all but one have been replaced. The central entrance consists of a boarded door with a surround that includes a pulvinated frieze and a pediment.
On the side elevation of the 17th century wing, there are two ranges of 4-light labelled chamfer-mullioned windows and a 20th century central entrance, along with a further set-back 19th century wing at the right end. Inside, a large cruck truss marks the division between the 17th century parlour cross wing and the former hall, which has since been replaced by a brick range, with only a small portion of the blade visible.
