Description
Gunces Farmhouse is a house primarily built in the 16th century, with a 17th-century extension and alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame, is plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The main hall range runs northeast to southwest and includes an axial chimney stack at the northeast end, along with two 2-bay crosswings. There is a one-bay 17th-century extension to the northwest of the southwest crosswing, and a single-storey lean-to extension from the 19th or 20th century to the northwest of the hall range. An external chimney stack from the 19th or 20th century is located on the northeast elevation. The building has two storeys and an attic.
On the southeast elevation, there is a continuous jetty and three matching gables, with the middle one serving as a facade gable. The central entrance features a 6-panel door with glazed top panels, and there is a range of three windows made of 19th or 20th-century casements, plus an additional window in the central gable. Inside, the farmhouse has jowled posts, curved braces set within heavy studs, and beams in the hall range that have double ovolo mouldings, along with plain joists that are of horizontal section.
