Description

Long Gore is a house that was originally three cottages, with parts dating from the 16th century on the right side and additions from the 17th and 18th centuries on the left. The building features a red brick ground floor and a weatherboarded first floor. It has a plain tiled roof that is hipped to the left and includes a tall brick end stack. The house is two storeys high with a two-window front that has casement windows.

On the left side, the ground floor is painted brick, while the right side is red brick. The first floor has fish-scale tile-hanging. This section has a plain tiled roof with a lower ridge line than the left-hand block and a ridge stack on the right. It is also two storeys tall with an irregular two-window front and casement windows. There is a central half-glazed door with a sloping plain tiled hood supported by wooden colonettes.

The right side features a return wing with a hipped return gable. This section has a red brick ground floor and a fish-scale tile-hung first floor, standing two storeys high with a single window range and casement windows. The right-hand return front, which faces the road, has a painted brick ground floor and rendered upper section. It has a hipped plain tiled roof and irregular fenestration, with two windows on the first floor and one on the ground floor to the right. There is a boarded door at the extreme right, and both the ground-floor window and door have segment heads. Some exposed timber-framing is visible on the first floor of the central section at the rear.
