Gotham Farmhouse

Gotham Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with squared quoins and wooden lintels, topped by a plain-tile roof featuring a brick ridge stack. The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan with a rear outshut and stands two storeys high, plus attics. The symmetrical three-window front includes a central entrance with an ashlar flat arch, which is likely an insertion, and a wide plank door. Above the door is a small window, while the outer bays feature three-light casements, with leaded lights in the first-floor windows. The roof has a central clustered stack and two gabled 20th-century roof dormers. The right gable wall has additional oak-framed casements. At the rear, a small brick gabled wing rises from the centre of the outshut, likely replacing an earlier timber-framed structure. Inside, there is an open fireplace in a massive central stack with large rounded inglenooks, a quarter-turn stair located at the rear of the stack, and a butt-purlin roof.
