Gissings Farmhouse

Gissings Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, likely built in two phases, forming a single long range. It underwent alterations in the 19th century. The building is timber framed, featuring a 19th-century white brick facade with three pilaster strips, while the right gable end is whitewashed brick and the rest is plastered. The roof is covered with mid-20th century plain tiles. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with four windows that are mullion and transom casements, probably from the 19th century, and flat brick arches above them. There is a lobby entrance with a 19th-century six-panel raised and fielded door, where the upper two panels are glazed. A small segmental-headed dormer is present. Inside, there is a heavy internal stack over the doorway and a smaller stack between the hall and service rooms. At the rear, there are two incomplete original windows with ovolo-moulded frames, one of which has the remains of mullions, and another window, likely secondary, has chamfered mullions. Most of the internal timbers are concealed, but an original ovolo-moulded external doorway can still be seen in the rear wall.
