Gainfield Farmhouse

Gainfield Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse constructed of coursed limestone rubble with brick quoins. It has a stone slate roof and brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape with a rear outshut. The main front of the farmhouse has two storeys and a two-window range. A late 19th-century rustic gabled porch sits in front of a 20th-century door, which has a beaded architrave and timber lintel. The first floor has two original 18th-century three-light casements with leaded glass, with chamfered timber lintels above. The ground floor windows are 20th-century two-light casements also with chamfered timber lintels. The roof is gabled with stacks at the gable ends. A bread oven projects from the left side wall. A similar two-window range to the rear left has a three-light first-floor casement with a chamfered timber lintel and a 20th-century three-light ground floor casement, although the ground floor itself was remodelled around 1970, adding a porch. There is an original outshut to the rear of the front range, which adjoins an 18th-century lean-to extension to the rear wing, and a 20th-century extension to the right side wall.

Inside, there is a stone flag floor and one early 18th-century six-panelled door. Early 18th and 19th-century plank doors are also present. The two-unit range at the front has cased beams and a chamfered bressumer over a remodelled open fireplace to the left room and a mid-19th-century fireplace to the right. A central passage leads to a quarter-turn staircase with a landing. The roof above is a four-bay collar-truss roof with butt purlins. The rear wing has a remodelled open fireplace with a bread oven and a four-bay collar-truss roof with butt purlins.
