Gatesfield

Gatesfield, formerly known as Holme Cleve, is a house dating from 1828, with additions from the 19th century. The south-east facing front overlooks the garden and is composed of a tall, three-storey, three-bay central block flanked by lower, two-storey wings to either side.

The central block has a roughcast front with bracketed eaves. The second floor contains two sash windows of three panes each, with louvred shutters. The first floor holds three sash windows of three panes each, without shutters. The ground floor features a wide, five-light splayed bay with an entablature and bracket eaves cornice.

The wing on the left is three storeys high and one bay wide, and sits on lower ground. It has a single sash window of three panes each on both the first and second floors, with shutters. An external staircase connects this wing to the central block.

The wing on the right is two storeys high and two bays wide, with bracketed eaves. The left bay has a sash window above and a late 19th or 20th-century French casement with side lights below. The right bay is bowed; the first floor has a sash window with glazing bars in each return of the bow and one in the centre, while the ground floor has a sash window to each return of the bow and a fixed window in the centre. A coved verandah, supported by slender metal supports, extends before the ground floor.
