Description
Gosbeck Hall is a house dating from around 1600, built in at least two stages. It has two storeys and was originally designed with attics. The layout consists of a three-cell plan, with a service wing on the left side. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a pantiled roof that features two axial chimneys made of red brick, with groups of two and three square detached shafts. These chimneys were likely rebuilt in the mid-19th century, altering the original design.
The house has various mid-19th century casement windows, while the parlour cell contains small-pane sash windows. The entrance door is a four-panelled design from the 19th century, with glazed upper panels and a gabled pantiled canopy above it. Inside, plain 17th century framing is exposed, mainly at the service end, with unchamfered floor joists laid flat and signs of unglazed diamond-mullioned windows. The cross-wing of the house is discontinuous and may be older than the main structure. There are several blocked open fireplaces, one of which on the first storey features an arched and plastered head. The roofs were rebuilt in the 19th or early 20th century.
