The Old Gate House

The Old Gate House is a house built in the 18th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. It features a timber frame, is plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The original 18th-century part of the house consists of two bays facing northwest, with an axial stack at the left end. This section is one storey high with attics. The larger early 19th-century extension, which is in an L-shape, has two bays in each wing and an external stack at the rear wing, and it is two storeys tall. There is also a later 19th-century stair tower at the rear angle and a single-storey ancillary building with a slate roof extending to the east.

On the northwest elevation of the original house, there is one 19th-century casement window on the ground floor and two 20th-century casement windows in flat-roofed dormers. The entrance features a plain boarded door and a gambrel roof. The northwest elevation of the early 19th-century part includes an original bow shop window with 35 lights, a fascia, and a moulded cornice, along with one original four-light casement window with rectangular leading, although the wrought iron casement has been replaced with a wooden one. On the first floor, there is one original three-light casement window, which has also been replaced. The original door has three arched lights, with the glass replaced by plywood, and is topped with a shallow canopy on scrolled brackets.

On the northeast elevation, the ground floor has two 20th-century casement windows, while the first floor features two original three-light casements that have been much altered. There is a central original half-glazed door in a simple doorcase, also with a shallow canopy on profiled brackets. Inside, the house has chamfered beams with elongated lamb's tongue stops (some boxed in), plain joists of vertical section, primary straight bracing, and a large wood-burning hearth facing southwest. There are some original internal doors and two recessed cupboards, one with a semi-circular back and the other with a straight back. The bow shop window is noted for its exceptional quality.
