Description
Gunn House is a building that dates from the 16th century at the north-west end and the 17th century at the south-east end. It features a plastered timber-frame construction and has a pantile roof with gabled ends. The house is two storeys tall with an attic and includes a large brick chimney stack that is off centre, as well as a brick stack at the end. The windows are asymmetrically arranged and consist of modern casements with glazing bars. There is a modern door located in front of the chimney. Inside, the staircase is positioned by the central chimney stack, and there are chamfered beams. The 16th-century north-west end includes curved brackets supporting the tie beam.
