Gray'S Farmhouse

Gray's Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The building has four bays facing west and features an axial stack located in the second bay from the right end. There is an 18th-century extension at the rear of the left end, which has a gambrel roof. A 20th-century stair tower is located at the rear of the stack, along with a single-storey extension that has a catslide roof, positioned between the stair tower and the 18th-century extension.

The farmhouse is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are sashes with 16, 12, 16, and 12 lights in an early 19th-century style, along with a square bay of sashes with 4-16-4 lights and a flat roof. The first floor features sashes with 12, 12, 16, 12, and 12 lights, also in an early 19th-century style. The entrance includes a four-panel door and three grouped diagonal shafts.

The interior includes jowled posts, close studding with curved tension braces that are trenched to the inside. In the middle ground floor room, which has two bays, there is a large wood-burning hearth that has been repaired at the rear. The mantel beam is chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and there is a moulded axial beam with lamb's tongue stops, along with chamfered joists of horizontal section that also have lamb's tongue stops. In the right ground floor room, there is a chamfered axial beam and joists of horizontal section, all featuring lamb's tongue stops. The floors have been raised slightly.

Face-halved and bladed scarfs are present in both wall plates, and there are arched braces to the tie beams, with one tie beam having been moved from its original position in 1984. The roof has clasped purlins with curved wind bracing. There are diamond mortices for unglazed windows in the rear wall, and some of the mullions have been restored. Additionally, there is a 17th-century boarded door with strap hinges that have fleur-de-lys terminations, although it is not in its original position.
