Description
Gadles Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the 18th century and remodeled around the early 19th century. It is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings and features a slurried scantle slate roof with brick chimneys at the gable ends. The right-hand chimney is situated over a large external rubble chimney breast. The building has a double-depth plan, consisting of two front rooms—a parlour on the left and a kitchen on the right—flanking an entrance hall that leads to a stair hall. To the left is an early 19th-century lean-to, and at the rear is a later 19th-century porch, along with a wall featuring observation or ventilation slits at the rear left corner.
The exterior is two storeys high and nearly symmetrical, with a three-window front and a doorway and window slightly left of the center. The original or early 19th-century doorway and window openings are present, including a six-panel door with the top four panels later glazed. The 19th-century wooden porch has an arched doorway and quatrefoils in the frieze. Most windows are early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sashes, except for a 20th-century window above the doorway and a 12-pane sash on the front of the lean-to. The rear of the building remains unaltered since the 19th century, and the stair window features an 18th-century upper light with thick glazing bars.
Inside, the farmhouse showcases early 19th-century carpentry and joinery details, including a dog-leg stair with stick balusters and a moulded handrail over a turned newel. There is a tall narrow settle in the back kitchen and window shutters in the front rooms. The back kitchen contains a partly blocked furze cupboard and a blocked oven to the right of its fireplace.
