Description
Gannocks is a house, believed to have been an inn, dating from the 16th century with later alterations. The right-hand wing features substantial timber framing that is exposed, with colourwashed brick infilling. The rest of the building is encased in colourwashed brick and has clay tile roofs. It is a two-storey T-plan structure, with a gable projecting from the left-hand side that gives it the appearance of an H-plan.
The central block has a four-light casement window and a six-panel door on the ground floor, along with a two-light casement window on the first floor. The right-hand gable jetties at the first floor level and has ogival bracing, featuring a four-light casement on the ground floor and a three-light casement on the first floor. The left-hand gable has a brick band at the first floor level and exposed timber framing at the attic level, which is less substantial than that of the right-hand gable. The ground floor includes a canted bay with sash windows that have glazing bars, while the first floor has a three-light casement and the attic has a two-light casement. All casements have leaded lights. There are two red brick multiple ridge stacks located at the junctions with the cross-wings. A 20th-century addition to the left-hand side, made of timber frame and red brick infill, incorporates 16th-century moulded timbers from the demolished Tempsford Chantry House, which was taken down in 1939.
