Gable Farm House

Gable Farm House is a free-standing house dating from the 16th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble, with pebble-dash on the timber frame at the street front, and features a stone slate roof. The roof has a coped gable at the left end, which includes a fine ashlar stack with split flues, moulded capping, and skirt. The building has a broad-span block with a deep wing at the back, and its layout has been modified from the original design.

The front of the house is two-gabled and 1½ storeys high, with a two-windowed arrangement. On the first floor, there are 4-light oak ovolo mould casements that project slightly forward from their framed wall, above 19th-century 2-light casements with one horizontal bar. The right gable features two 19th-century casements on the first floor and a 3-light stone mullioned casement with a stopped drip at ground level. The back of the house includes small dormers, and on the south gable, there is a small square light above a 3-light casement on the first floor, and a similar casement with a stopped drip at ground level, featuring plain reserved chamber mullions. A dormer at the back of the main block is positioned over a 3-light casement that was formerly a door.

The entrance door is located in the east gable and has an elliptical chamfered head and chamfered jambs, with a plank door; there is also a 20th-century door in the back wing. Inside, there is a deep fireplace with solid stone cheeks and a new bressummer at the east end, along with a central very deep chamfered longitudinal beam and chamfered and stopped joists, as well as some timber-framed walling. In the upper room at the back, there is a fireplace with a large 4-centre chamfered stone lintel.
