Gavelcroft

Gavelcroft is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with later alterations. It is timber-framed and has a red brick casing from the late 18th or early 19th century, topped with a plaintiled roof. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring three windows with four-light casements set under flat brick arches. The doorway is asymmetrical and includes an inset six-panel raised and fielded door, with the upper two panels glazed, along with panelled reveals, a wide architrave, and a cornice. There are two gabled dormers on the roof.

Internally, there is a heavy internal stack and gable end stacks. To the left, there is an early 18th-century Dutch gable end that has pairs of blocked segmental-arched windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a brick band at attic level. The right-hand gable end matches this style but was rebuilt around 1945. The earlier section of the house is located to the left of the stack, where the roof features clasped purlins and arched wind-bracing.

Inside, the left-hand ground floor room showcases complete mid-18th-century panelling and a bolection-moulded cornice, with matching panelling on the gable end wall of the room above. Some studding is visible on the first floor, and there is a newel staircase.
