The Gables, The Nook And Rooksmoor

The Gables, The Nook, and Rooksmoor is a former detached house that has been converted into three houses. It dates from the mid-17th century, with extensive enlargements and alterations made in the late 17th century or early 18th century. The building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone, with rebuilt brick and concrete chimneys, and features a stone slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and has a cellar in Rooksmoor, forming an L-shape.

The oldest part of the structure appears to be The Gables and The Nook, which has three gables on a north-south oriented range. The west side features a single-window recessed cavetto mullioned casement fenestration with two and three lights on the left gable, while the right side has mixed timber casements with timber lintels. There is a doorway between the gables that has a 20th-century door and a small casement window above it. The east side of the range has later cross window fenestration.

Projecting from the right gable to the west is a two-gable range, likely a later addition now known as Rooksmoor. This section has two-window cross window fenestration below each gable on the north side, with a two-light casement and hoodmould in the attic gables. The left attic gable has a recessed cavetto mullion, while the right has a chamfered mullion with an oval window above. The west gable end features two-window fenestration at the cellar and ground floor, with cross windows on the ground floor under a combined hoodmould. There is a two-light cellar casement to the left of the doorway, which has a plank door and timber lintel. The central upper floor has a cross window, with a two-light attic casement above and an oval window in the gable apex. The south side has three gables, with the left side having two-window fenestration similar to the north side. The interior has not been inspected. It is likely that the building was originally constructed as a mill owner's house.
