Description
Harber Gill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1700 on the porch, which was remodeled after flood damage in 1752 and has since been extended and altered. It is constructed of random sandstone rubble with quoins, and the facade is painted white, topped with a slate roof. The building has a T-plan layout, consisting of a single-depth, 2-unit main range with a very large outshut at the rear.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, previously having an attic, and features three windows. There is a prominent chamfered drip-course above each floor, which is interrupted by the heads of the windows. The ground floor has a wide gabled porch at the center, with chamfered jambs and a bi-cusped lintel that has sunk panels displaying raised lettering "WT" and "1700". On each floor, there is one rectangular window to the left and two to the right, all of which break through the drip-courses and have altered glazing. Additionally, there is a blocked 1-light window at the left end of the first floor. Gable chimneys are present, and each gable has a blocked 1-light attic window, with the one on the right-hand gable being round-headed. The rear features a very long full-height outshut with a catslide roof.
Inside, the left front room contains a built-in 18th-century cupboard, while the ceiling height is lower in the room to the right. There is a dairy in the outshut and a room above it with a flagged floor.
