Description
Three Gates Farmhouse is an early 17th-century former farmhouse with a later 17th-century addition at the right end. The walls are a mix of whitewashed rendered cob and stone, with the front wall reportedly partially rebuilt in the 20th century. The roof is slate, formerly thatched, and gabled at each end. There's a front lateral brick stack and a projecting stack at the right end of the main block, along with a further stack to the right end addition.
The layout is L-shaped. The early 17th-century main block consists of two rooms with a wide central passage and an unheated single-room rear wing, likely originally used as a dairy. A single-storey kitchen addition, said to be from the 17th century, is situated at the right end of the main range. A rear lean-to, likely built after the 17th century, extends from the back.
The front facade is asymmetrical, with three plus one windows. A gabled porch is centrally positioned on the main block, which has 19th or 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. The kitchen block at the right end features a 20th-century glazed porch and a circa 18th-century three-light casement window on the first floor with square leaded panes. A similar 18th-century casement window is visible on the left return of the main range. A timber-mullioned window, dating from the 17th century, is located on the ground floor of the rear wing within the end wall.
During a 1986 survey, access to the interior was not possible, but it was reportedly constructed with jointed cruck roof construction concealed by later roof timbers, along with open fireplaces and stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
