Gate Farmhouse

Gate Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with stone dressings and features a 20th-century machine-tile roof. The building has an L-shaped plan with a gabled cross-wing, positioned at right angles to the road.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic. On the south-west front, there is an integral stone end stack to the right, which has a 20th-century brick top. To the left, there is an external stone lateral stack, with its upper part rebuilt in the 19th century, connected to the attic by a pitched-roofed link that has chamfered offsets, a brick top stage, and a stone cornice, along with a 19th-century integral brick end stack at the rear of the cross-wing.

The front has two windows: the hall range on the right features a first-floor two-light wooden casement with a wooden lintel and a 20th-century cill, a blocked first-floor window to the left, and a ground-floor 20th-century two-light casement to the right, also with a wooden lintel. The cross-wing to the left has a ground-floor 19th-century three-light wooden casement with chamfered stone dressings, as well as a ground-floor 19th-century canted bay window with a hipped plain-tiled roof and a combination of one, three, and one-light wooden casements.

In the centre of the hall range, there is a 20th-century half-glazed door with a rectangular overlight and a 19th-century stone lintel. The left-hand return front has two windows, both of which are two-light wooden casements with flat stone arches. At the rear, there are a pair of 19th-century gabled wings, each one storey and attic, flanking a central lean-to with a gabled stone semi-dormer. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have ceiling beams.
