Description
Sand Gap Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of roughcast stone and features slate roofs. The south elevation consists of three storeys and three bays, with a two-storey extension to the west. On the ground floor, there are three-light wooden casement windows in the first and second bays, with the second bay having a higher window that includes small-paned fixed glazing and a pivoted upper part. The third bay has a 20th-century casement window under a label mould, similar to the window in the fifth bay. The first floor has casement windows in the first and second bays, while the third and fifth bays feature three-light single-chamfered-mullioned windows. The fourth bay has a similar two-light window with a label. The attic includes two-light windows in the third and fifth bays. The entrance in the fourth bay has a late 17th-century datestone and a 20th-century porch. The farmhouse has a cross-axial stack and two gable-end stacks, with casement windows at the rear. An outbuilding at the west end has a large opening. Inside, there are stop-chamfered beams, stud and plaster partitions, and a staircase from the late 18th or 19th century.
