Description
Gunn's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It has a three-cell plan and stands two storeys high. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, with the front upper storey featuring exposed close-studwork. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is hipped with a gablet at the right-hand end. There is an axial chimney made of red brick. The windows are mainly 20th-century small-pane casements. The farmhouse also includes a 20th-century gabled porch, which is timber-framed and sits on a plinth of red brick, along with a boarded and battened entrance door.
