Overgates

Overgates is a farmhouse built in the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It features painted incised stucco and V-jointed quoins, topped with a graduated greenslate roof and brick chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and consists of three bays, with a lower two-bay extension on the left. The main entrance includes a six-panel door set in a shouldered architrave beneath a shaped pediment. The windows are sash style, framed in painted stone surrounds, while the extension has broader sash windows also in painted stone surrounds. This farmhouse is associated with the Moore family, as noted in R.S. Boumphrey and C.R. Hudleston's "Cumberland Families and Heraldry," published in 1978.
