Swallerton Gate

Swallerton Gate is a small house, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with an extension added in the 1920s. The building features granite rubble walls with dressed quoins, while the rear and left gable are rendered. It has granite rubble chimney stacks with drip-courses and a thatched roof with gable ends, including granite coping stones on the left gable end. The original section of the house has thatch that rises in eyebrows over the first-floor windows.

The layout consists of a double-depth plan with two main front rooms, each heated by gable end fireplaces. There is a one-room plan 20th-century addition on the right end, which includes a gable end fireplace, along with a 20th-century outshut and conservatory at the rear. The house is two storeys tall, with the original block displaying a symmetrical two-window front featuring small three-light 19th-century casements with glazing bars, likely in their original openings. The windows have granite lintels and wooden shutters.

The central doorway has a 20th-century plank door beneath a thatched porch roof supported by wooden posts. The taller 20th-century addition on the right gable end has a one-window front with taller window openings containing two-light casements, also with granite lintels and shutters. Attached to the right is a single-storey granite rubble stable with a thatched roof. The interior, which has been partially inspected, includes a solid wall dividing the front and rear room on one side and a stone voussoir arch leading to the fireplace in the front room.
