Goslings Farmhouse

Goslings Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century. It is timber-framed, with plaster rendering and a roof of handmade red plain tiles. The house has four bays facing southwest, featuring an axial stack in the second bay from the left, an internal stack at the left end, and a 19th-century external rear stack in the right-end bay. A two-bay original wing extends to the rear of the main range. The house has one storey with attics.

On the ground floor are two 19th-century casement windows and one 20th-century casement. The first floor has one 19th-century casement and one 20th-century casement in lean-to dormers, alongside a 20th-century casement in a gabled porch over a late 19th-century plain door. Late 19th-century serpentine bargeboards are present on the gable facing the road and at the right end. The roof has a half-hipped gambrel form, and two late 19th-century octagonal shafts are on the right stack. The rear elevation of the main range includes one 18th-century three-light window with a wrought iron casement.

Inside, there are plain joists of vertical section, primary straight bracing (partly exposed internally), and original interrupted tiebeam construction in the internal cross-frames. The middle tiebeam of the rear wing was removed. An original staircase with plain octagonal balusters and a carved acorn newel is against the rear wall; the first-floor rail has been slightly shortened. The main stack has a large wood-burning hearth facing to the right, and there’s a 20th-century grate within the right stack. The 19th-century porch interrupts the front wallplate.
