Description

Gorwell Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the mid-19th century, incorporating re-used materials from the 17th century. The building features rubble-stone walls with dressed stone quoins and has a 19th-century slate roof with boxed eaves and gable ends, which has a shallow pitch. There are projecting stacks and rendered chimneys on the south and north gable ends, as well as a rendered stack on the east front gable.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has four windows on the main elevation, plus one window on the return wing at the north end. The windows are sashes with stone cills and concreted architraves. The front gable at the north end includes a blocked 2-light stone mullion window with hollow chamfers and a returned label above it. The north wall has 2-light and 3-light stone mullions with lead lights, while the rear walls feature 2- and 3-light cast-iron casements with segmental brick arches above.

A two-storey porch on the front elevation has a doorway with moulded jambs and head, and the straight-chamfered stops are adorned with carved vases. The inner door shares the same design for its jambs and head, both dating back to the 17th century.
