Description
Wester Gellet Farmhouse is a late 18th century farmhouse with late 19th century alterations. It is a two-storey, four-bay rectangular building featuring a simplified Gibbs doorcase at the entrance on the north elevation. The exterior is harled with painted ashlar dressings, and the main block has quoins at the corners and coped gables. The openings in the main block are architraved.
On the north elevation, the entrance is located to the left of center and features a simplified Gibbs surround topped with a pediment. It has a nine-panel timber door with a rectangular fanlight above. There is a window above the entrance and one window on each floor in the flanking bays, including a tall late 19th century round-arched stair window to the right. There is also an entrance to a later single-storey lean-to adjoining to the left.
The south elevation features a late 19th century full-height droved ashlar canted bay on the outer left, with a mullioned five-light window on each floor. There are additional windows to each floor in the two bays to the right, and a window to the later single-storey lean-to, which is set back slightly.
On the west elevation, there are outer flanking windows to the gable end on each floor, with the right windows blocked and the left ground floor window being taller. Traces of a former pair of attic windows can be seen above.
The east elevation has a window to the right of the gable end and a window to the later projecting single-storey lean-to. The farmhouse mainly features two-pane timber sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof. There are gablehead stacks at either end of the block and a central ridge stack, all with band courses and round cans.
Inside, there is a late 19th century dog-leg staircase with a cast-iron balustrade, and a damaged early sandstone fireplace surround to the east of the main block.
The boundary wall surrounding the farmhouse is made of rubble, including a more finely coursed section with rounded coping immediately to the south of the house.
