Description

Gable End is a house with a core dating from the mid-17th century, featuring various additions and alterations from the early 19th century. It has one-and-a-half storeys and is timber framed, faced in 19th-century red brick, with plastered gable walls and a 20th-century pantiled roof. There is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft. The house has 20th-century casement windows, two gabled dormers, and a 20th-century enclosed gabled porch. It is positioned sideways to the road, aligned north-south, with a two-storey red brick wing extending from the west side and a single-storey lean-to along the east side. The building has a complex development and was likely originally single-storey throughout. The gable ends show signs of an earlier, lower rafter line, while the current roof timbers and ceiling joists date from around 1800. The internal stack appears to be an insertion, as the frame lacks a chimney bay. The house is included for its group value.
