Description

Gamage Hall is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century, with additions from the early 18th century, mid-19th century, and mid-20th century. The building has a brick front with an irregular bond on the right ground floor, while the rest is in Flemish bond. The right gable is made of random rubble stone, and the rear left is in English garden wall bond brick, with the right rear wing featuring random rubble stone on the ground floor and brick-nogged timber framing above. It has a tiled roof and a four-window front, with a single room depth on the right and two rooms on the slightly wider left, all spanning two storeys.

The front features a six-panel door to the right of centre, marked as double doors, beneath a 19th-century gabled open porch that reuses 17th-century timbers. To the right, there is a four-light mullion and transom window with a cambered brick arch, and to the left, two sash windows with flat, splayed brick heads that intersect in the centre. On the first floor, there is a four-light mullion and transom window to the right, a three-light window above the door, both with cambered brick arches, and two sash windows to the left, similar to those on the ground floor. The eaves feature dentil detailing, and there is a gable chimney on the ridge to the right, along with a large external chimney on the left gable, which is surrounded by a mid-20th-century lean-to that is a rebuild of a two-storey single bay end of the house following a fire.

At the rear, there are stone steps leading to the upper floor at the angle with the house. Internally, the left wall of the entrance hall is timber framed, and there are six-panel fielded doors. On the right, there is a wide chamfer to the ceiling beam with a pyramid bar stop, and on the left, there are shutters to the sashes and a two-panel door leading to the rear room. The stair landing features reset turned balusters, and there is a two-panel door above. The roof was remade in the 19th century, with king-post trusses that have bolts on the left, and collar, tie beam, and angle struts on the right. The house may have been rebuilt in stages from its original timber-framed structure.
