Fell Gate Farmhouse And Former Barn Adjoining

Fell Gate Farmhouse and the adjoining former barn, now used as a private house and garage, dates from the early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of mixed limestone rubble with a roof of graduated greenslate, featuring banded stone chimney stacks.

The farmhouse is a two-storey, two-bay structure with a three-bay barn projecting to the right, both sharing a common roof. The front of the farmhouse has a three-light flat-stone mullioned window, and a right-hand fire window that has been re-opened. Above it is a two-light window where the original mullion has been removed. Replacement windows with chamfered stone mullions (added by the present owner) are set within red sandstone surrounds on the ground floor.

The barn has a left-hand cross-passage doorway with a recessed studded plank door. Further plank doors and a 20th-century garage doorway are set within a more recent opening, alongside 20th-century casement windows filling what were originally loft doorways. A rear outshut, built at the same time as the main structure, features small original windows. A 20th-century extension to the barn on the right is not considered to be of architectural interest.
