Description

Gate Farmhouse and attached farm buildings are likely from the early 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The structure is built from limestone and slate rubble, with the house being cement rendered and featuring Welsh slate and graduated slate roofs. The building forms an L-shaped range, with the house comprising two storeys and three windows on the first floor. To the left, there is a barn that shares the same roof line, which has a later wing added to the front left.

The house includes a 20th-century porch flanked by plain sash windows, with three casement windows on the first floor, the one on the right being smaller. The ends of the house have rendered stacks. The barn on the left has a rendered front face, while the rest shows exposed rubble with large quoins. It features an arched wagon entrance beneath a canopy at the left angle, a through passageway, a later garage opening, and a window beneath a hatch. The return limb of the barn includes a stable with a window and door, as well as an open-fronted bay, with exposed throughs and slit vents at the rear.

Inside the house, there is an upper-cruck roof construction with two trusses, of which only one is partially exposed.
