The Gables

The Gables is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It features red brick on a plinth, with modern sham framing and roughcast render on the front wall. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with plain tiles, adorned with crested ridge tiles. The end and ridge stacks were rebuilt in 19th-century gault brick above the ridge. The building consists of a single range from the 18th century, with a mid-19th-century wing at the rear. It is two storeys high, with six 19th-century hung sash windows on the first floor, each set in moulded architraves. The ground floor has five similar flush frame windows. The doorway is framed by an original doorcase with a moulded architrave and a flat hood supported by cut brackets with a moulded cornice. The east gable features mid-18th-century gault and red brickwork, with bands at the eaves height and between the storeys, using English cross bond bonding. The west gable end has been repaired, and the rear range is constructed of gault brick.
