Description
8, 9, 10 Gatelawbridge is a building from the earlier 19th century that was originally used as stables and a haybarn but has been converted into a two-storey house. There is also a single-storey row of cottages to the east, connected by a screen wall. The structure is made of stugged and squared red rubble with ashlar dressings, all covered with graded slates.
The stables have a rectangular plan and a gable facing the roadside. The two southernmost bays are not original. There have been few changes to the openings, but the windows feature plate glass glazing throughout. At the north end of the east wall, there are two cartways (one slightly altered), and a forestair with a cantilevered platt runs alongside. Slit ventilators are located at the south below the wall-head stack, and there is a basement door in the south gable below an inserted bipartite window.
The cottages include a three-bay cottage to the east with a central door and 12-pane glazing. The west end, which may have originally been stables, has been converted into two two-bay cottages with inserted margined openings and a blocked slit ventilator. The doors are boarded with fanlights above, and the sash windows have 12-pane glazing on the east side, while other windows feature larger panes. The building has straight skews and coped end stacks, with two brick wall-head stacks at the south. There is a boarded loft door in the west gable, and the main roof sweeps at the south over the full width of the rear wing of the three-bay cottage.
