Description
Hartley Gate Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the 17th century and altered in the 18th century. It has a timber frame with a rendered ground floor and is clad with painted weatherboarding on the first floor. The roof is hipped with slate and has tiled ridge capping, and there is a tall brick stack located off centre to the right. The building features a baffle entry plan and is two storeys high, with a slightly irregular four-window front that includes glazing bar sashes. The entrance has a panelled door with glazed top panels, positioned off-centre to the right, and is topped with a flat shallow hood supported by pilaster panels. At the rear, there are 18th-century wings and a very large three-part bread oven. Inside, substantial timber framing is visible, along with a large central stack featuring wooden bressummers. There is a two-flight staircase, with windows, located behind the stack. The roof structure includes collars and a thin ridge but lacks purlins.
