Gate Farmhouse

Gate Farmhouse, formerly known as Kiln Farmhouse, is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century with a front range added around 1800. It features a plastered timber frame set on a tarred brick plinth, while the rear wing is constructed of whitewashed brick laid in Flemish bond. The roofs are slate on the front and plaintile on the rear. The building is two storeys high with a three-window range. The central entrance has a six-panelled and fielded door topped with a four-vaned fanlight, framed by a timber doorcase with a hood. There is one 19th-century three-light casement window on either side of the door, and three similar casements on the first floor, with the centre window having only two lights. The gabled roof has internal gable-end stacks and a two-storey rear outshut.

Inside, the farmhouse features an open-well staircase from around 1800, which has stick balusters and a rasp-moulded handrail. There are panelled and fielded doors throughout, including two-panelled cupboard doors on the first floor. The first-floor west room has a cast-iron birdnest fire grate with a bolection-moulded surround. The rear wing has a clasped purlin roof with diminished principals.
