Gilmore, Including Front Garden Walls And Gate Piers

Gilmore is a house dating from around the 1860s, which includes front garden walls and gate piers. It is built from dressed granite laid to course, featuring dressed granite quoins, sills, jambstones, and lintels, while the side walls are made of rubble. The roof is hipped and covered with Delabole slate, featuring projecting eaves and brick chimneys with cornices over the side walls, as well as an axial chimney over the integral rear wing. The house has an L-shaped plan with two nearly equal front rooms, the left room being slightly wider, a cross passage between them, and a kitchen wing at right angles behind the left room, with a stair hall in between. It stands two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical three-window front facing the road, with a tall narrow doorway centrally located. The original entrance features a four-panel top-glazed door set within a doorcase that has moulded and carved consoles supporting a squat triangular pediment. The original windows are 12-pane hornless sashes. The interior has not been inspected. There are tall coped rubble walls adjoining at right angles on either side, returning at the front as a low dressed granite chamfered plinth, which originally had iron railings and an off-centre gateway with round-headed granite monolith piers. This house is part of a group of listed buildings near the church.
