Description
Gadgirth Mains is likely an early 19th-century building that has seen late 19th and 20th-century additions. It is a single-storey and attic, U-plan, gabled steading that has been converted into cottages. The central entrance features a segmental arch and is topped by a raised-gabled dovecot. The principal southwest elevation has painted, rendered masonry, while the northwest and southeast elevations are made of sandstone rubble, with painted polished ashlar dressings and an eaves course. The building displays raised window margins and long and short quoins.
The principal southwest elevation consists of five bays. Above the central pend entrance, the raised gable of the dovecot has a recessed, moulded quatrefoil entrance hole. The lower flanking bays feature pointed-arch windows on the ground floor (blind) and first floor to the left, and a single rectangular window to the right. The outer bays are two-storey gabled, with a round-arched and circular window to the left and two rectangular windows to the right. There is a slightly recessed lean-to entrance with a continuous roof on the outer right.
The southeast elevation has irregular fenestration, including a 20th-century advanced piend-roofed brick-built central bay with a full-height stack. The northwest elevation also has irregular fenestration, featuring a late 19th or early 20th-century advanced entrance bay to the right with an iron stair leading to the door and two piend-roofed dormers.
The courtyard elevations show irregular fenestration as well. The stonework indicates former coachhouses at the southwest end of the side elevations, which are now glazed. There are advanced gabled stable bays at the northwest end of the side elevations, along with a 20th-century piend-roofed vehicle shelter in the northwest corner. The roof features rooflights and piend-roofed dormers.
The building has a variety of glazing patterns, predominantly with timber sash and case windows, although some non-traditional glazing is present on the northwest side. It features ashlar-coped skews with square skewputts, painted ashlar gablehead stacks, and grey slate roofs.
