Description
Farmhouse. Dating from the 16th century, with a significant addition from the 17th century and 19th-century cladding, Gatehouse Farmhouse is timber-framed. The ground floor is clad in red brick, while the first floor to the left has tile hanging. A projecting wing to the right is entirely tile-hung. The roof is tiled, with a hipped section to the left and a half-hipped section towards the road on the taller wing to the right. There is a tall red brick stack behind the wing to the right and a smaller red brick stack behind the left-hand block. The farmhouse is two storeys high. The windows are irregular in their arrangement, with two on the first floor and one on the ground floor to the left of the left-hand block, and two on both floors on the roadside of the wing. A single window appears on both floors of the re-entrant face of the wings. All windows are casements. Boarded doors are located in the centre of the roadside facade of the right-hand wing, in the re-entrant angle of this wing, and on the return front of the left-hand block.
