The Gables

The Gables is a detached house dated 1867, marked with the initials S.S. on a sunken trefoil-headed plaque at the top of the porch gable. It is constructed from rock-faced coursed limestone and features a roof of red and purple tiles arranged in bands, along with stone stacks. The house has a rectangular plan and stands 2½ storeys high.

The west front has three windows and a central projecting porch with a gable. On either side of the porch are canted stone-mullioned bay windows with transoms. Above each canted bay on the first floor are cross windows, and there is a single light above the porch, with similar single lights near the apex of each gable. All windows have ogee-curved trefoil heads and carved oak trees between the lights, with blue brick arches over the first and second floor windows.

The front porch features a 20th-century part-glazed door within an ogee trefoil-headed arch, with a blue brick arch above that follows the curve. The south front has similar fenestration to the west front but lacks canted bays. The roof is parallel gabled with decorative ridge cresting, and the gable end and lateral stacks have original crown louvred chimney pots. The interior has not been inspected.
