The Flat The Gage

This is a house dating from the early 16th century, with significant alterations and additions in the late 18th century, the 19th century, and the 20th century. It is timber-framed with brick additions, rendered externally, and has tiled roofs. The house began as a hall house with a lower wing, to which further additions have been made at the upper end.

The main hall range is three bays wide. The entrance is in the original screens passage position, featuring a six-panelled door within an 18th-century doorcase with a dentilled cornice and a 19th-century tiled hood. The ground floor casement windows have architraves with cornices. A large 17th-century axial stack is located centrally within the hall, with rebuilt multiple diagonal shafts. To the right of the hall, a gable fronts the building, and there's a projecting rectangular bay addition to the ground floor. The first floor has a two-light architraved casement and bargeboards. A small first-floor window with old leaded panes is situated on the far right. The lower crosswing, set back slightly, has a projecting rectangular bay addition to the ground floor and a two-light casement on the first floor, with a bargeboarded gable.

The left return has a large external stack with 19th-century diagonal shafts and a projecting section with a relieving arch. The crosswing extends further to the rear, with a ground floor canted bay and a three-light casement on the first floor. 19th-century additions are present at the rear of the hall. A ground floor outshut is open to the right, leading to recessed entrance with a moulded timber porch and glazed doors to the rear of the screens passage. Three first-floor casements, each within a separate gable, are visible, with a stack with diagonal shafts where the hall meets the lower wing to the rear. A slightly projecting 18th-century service block addition to the upper end features paired small-pane architraved casements on the ground floor and two two-light leaded-pane casements on the first floor. A stack with two diagonal shafts is located at the right end. The twin-gabled right end of the house contains scattered sashes and casements, and lean-to outshuts. A separate block was added to the rear of the original upper end. This block is two storeys high and features a bay of casements with a gable to the garden. A further 20th-century addition is also at the rear.

The interior includes late 17th or early 18th century bolection moulded panelling, early 19th century doorcases, and a late 19th century staircase. The house was formerly known as Gazes Place.
