The Gables

The Gables is a house that dates from the 15th and 16th centuries, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame that is clad with 20th-century waney weatherboards and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. The house features a two-bay hall facing south, which has a late 16th-century axial stack at the eastern end. To the west, there is a two-bay crosswing that includes an early 18th-century stack at the rear and 20th-century extensions beyond it. There is also a one-bay extension to the east of the hall, dating from the 17th century. The crosswing has two storeys, while the main range is one storey with attics.

On the ground floor, there are five 20th-century casement windows, and on the first floor, there are four more windows, two of which are in gabled dormers and one in a feature gable. The house has two 20th-century doors, one of which is located in a gabled porch. Inside the hall, there is heavy studding with arched braces that are trenched to the inside. A late 16th-century inserted floor features a chamfered axial beam with lamb's tongue stops and chamfered joists of horizontal section, also with lamb's tongue stops, supported on pegged clamps. There is a large wood-burning hearth in the hall, and the roof was rebuilt in the 18th century.

The main frame of the crosswing from the 16th century is still present, including a blocked original window on the left return, but the floor and other parts have been largely rebuilt in the 18th century. The extension to the right has a wood-burning hearth with a rounded back, a chamfered transverse beam, and joists of various types and dates, along with early floorboards. The wall framing has been significantly altered in the 18th century. This building has previously been converted into three cottages, which were later combined back into a single dwelling.
