The Gables

The Gables is a house dating to the late 16th century, with a probable early 16th century rear wing to the hall range and later rear additions. A 19th-century rear range and Tudor-style extensions were added later, with renovations undertaken in the 1970s. The house is timber-framed, with some parts rendered and painted brickwork. It has a plain tile roof and red brick stacks.

The main house features a hall with a jettied cross wing to the left, and attached gabled ranges to the rear. The front range displays close studding. A 20th-century Tudor-arched entrance, with a hood, sits adjacent to the cross wing. The house features 20th-century mullion and transom windows, largely in original openings, along with a moulded bressummer to the first floor. The cross wing includes a 20th-century oriel window with mullioned side lights, a jettied first floor with a moulded bressummer, a similar first-floor window, and a 5-light mullion window to the jettied gable with moulded bressummer, bargeboards, and a finial. The roof sweeps upwards, and paired octagonal ridge stacks are present to the rear. A left return is built in painted brick.

A rear range to the hall is slightly lower than the main building. Internal features include moulded beams and exposed joists in the front range, a chamfered brick Tudor-arched fireplace to the hall with Tudor-arched doorways leading to the rear wing. A further chamfered basket-arched fireplace is located in the cross wing. The rear wing features an inglenook with a chamfered bressummer, studded walls, moulded beams and joists, and likely inserted 17th-century panelling. A 5-light ovolo mullion window, originally part of the rear wall, now serves the stair hall. The stair hall range shows exposed painted decoration on the studded rear wall of the cross wing and a 20th-century staircase. The first floor has chamfered beams and exposed joists, and fireplaces with painted basket arches exhibiting ovolo moulding in chamfered square surrounds with stepped stops. Another fireplace to the rear wall of the cross wing features probable inserted 17th-century panelling with a cornice and strapwork panels. The rear range incorporates a 20th-century replica crown post roof, while the front range has a clasped purlin roof with wind braces. Numerous moulded and studded plank doors are present, along with a small chamfered basket-arched fireplace in the attic of the cross wing. The house was extensively renovated and restored in the 1970s and includes several imported features.
