Description

Gulls Farmhouse is a 15th-century house of two storeys, originally timber-framed and now clad in weatherboards. The roof is ridged and gabled, covered in pegtiled, with an early hexagonal chimney shaft of red brick in the centre of the front slope and red brick chimney stacks against each end wall, dating from the 18th century. The ground floor has three modern casement windows, and the first floor has four. A modern front door is located towards the west end.

Inside, there is a heavy oaken frame and an encapsulated crown-post roof, heavily coated in soot. Notable features include prominent Tudor arch braces, door heads, boldly chamfered common-joists, and diamond mullioned window spaces. The house was formerly an open hall, with a first floor inserted later. Evidence in the roof suggests the presence of two cross-wings, indicating a former H-plan configuration and suggesting the house belonged to a wealthy yeoman family. The property has been known by various names throughout its history, appearing in deeds as Broadgores, Angevins, and Shatbolts.
