Description

Gerranton is an early 19th-century farmhouse that stands two storeys tall and features three bays, along with single-storey pavilions that have piend roofs. The exterior is made of painted rubble with polished raised margins. It has single light windows with 4-pane glazing on the ground floor and three timber gabled dormer heads on the first floor, which contain aluminium framed plate glass sashes. The roofs are covered with slate, and there are corniced axial stacks topped with octagonal cans. The entrance is located at the rear, accessed through a single-storey piended addition. The farmhouse also includes 12-pane sashes and is flanked by single-storey piended wings.
