Description
Gollick Park Farmhouse is a farmhouse that possibly dates from the mid-17th century, with later alterations and an addition. It is constructed of random rubble chert with some brick window surrounds and features a gable end slate roof. The original layout was a three-room, through-passage plan, with the service end located to the right of the passage and a wing extending from the front of the inner room. The service end is heated by an end stack, while the hall is heated by an axial stack that backs onto the passage, and the inner room is unheated. The wing was originally one room deep and also heated by an end stack; a vertical masonry joint indicates that it was later extended by an additional room that served as a kitchen, which shares the same stack and includes a bake oven.
The farmhouse is two storeys high. The front exterior features a three-window range, with all windows having rusticated surrounds and late 20th-century PVC frames, along with rusticated quoining. There is a brick and stone porch, and one 19th-century casement window in the wing, while the others are all late 20th-century. The rear of the main range has brick window surrounds and late 20th-century frames, with a rear porch that has been converted into a W.C. The left-hand gable wall includes an oculus.
Inside, the survival of one leg of a roof truss suggests that the original roof was of jointed cruck construction, although the current roof is from the 20th century. The service end is divided by an axial partition, likely modern, and the hall fireplace is blocked. The screen between the hall and the inner room is a particularly interesting example of a late variant of a traditional form, featuring three muntins and a head beam with convex moulding that forms two and part of a third panel made of vee-jointed planks, finished on the hall side and rough on the inner room side. The earlier of the two rooms in the front wing has notable chamfered and unstopped ceiling beams that create four panels.
