Description
Gorse Lodge Farmhouse is a mid-17th century farmhouse that has been divided into two dwellings. It features a timber frame with colourwashed brick gable ends and a pantiled roof. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-cell layout. There are five windows, which include various casements and sashes, all dating from the mid-20th century, along with two mid-20th century half-glazed doors. The internal stack has two hexagonal sawtooth-type flues and a plain gable end stack on the right side. There is also a single-storey wing added in the 20th century to the right. The interior has been modernised, but No. 1 retains exposed chamfered joists on the ground floor.
