Description
Gull Farmhouse is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with additions from the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed with a colourwashed stucco render and a pantile roof, which was originally thatched. The building has two storeys and a three-cell plan that has been extended to create a four-cell plan.
The front of the house features an early 20th-century porch located to the left of the centre, which contains a door aligned with the screens passage. The leftmost bay is an 18th-century addition. There is a 19th-century brick plinth with tumbled brick at the left corner. On the ground floor, there are two 2-light casement windows to the left of the porch and two more to the right. The first floor has four 3-light casement windows above and below the eaves, separated by king transoms. To the far right, there is a single-storey 20th-century projection with two 3-light casement windows.
At the ridge, there is an axial stack on the right side, featuring 16th or 17th-century brickwork on the lower section and 19th-century brickwork above. To the left, there is a cross-axial stack and another similar stack on the left gable end. The left gable end has a central stack with offsets and lean-tos on either side, with cross windows on the first floor. The right gable end has a 20th-century projecting addition at ground floor level, with a 3-light casement window on the first floor.
At the rear, there is a projecting gabled 20th-century addition to the right of centre, which includes a ground floor doorway and a 2-light first floor window. To the right of this addition is a glazed lean-to porch and a 2-light 20th-century window, while to the left are two 2-light ground floor windows. The first floor has two 2-light windows on the right and left, with a 4-light window in between, featuring diamond-section mullions.
