Description
Gun Hill Farmhouse is a brick farmhouse dating to around 1700. It is located on Well Road, north of Burnham Overy Wells, near Burnham Overy Staithe. The house is built of brick with a red pantile roof, alongside some clunch to the west gable. Carstone quoins and clunch at the ground floor south-west corner suggest a possible earlier build. The farmhouse is two storeys high with seven bays. It has six ground floor and seven first floor wooden casement windows, originally set under flat rubbed brick arches, although most have been altered. A first floor platband runs around the building, and the west gable has a Dutch design with brick copings. A 20th-century brick porch has been added with a steeply pitched roof, and there are 20th-century flat roof lights and two end stacks. An east gable door, dating to around 1820, features panelled reveals, a six-panel raised and fielded door, a rectangular fanlight, and metal glazing bars.
