Description
Gorse Farmhouse is a 2-storey farmhouse built with whitewashed rubble and features a slate roof topped by two later brick chimney stacks. The building is three windows wide, with the windows offset to the right. On the first floor, there are two-light casements and a central four-light casement that rise to the eaves level. The ground floor has three-light casements with voussoir lintels and keystones, flanking a broad pitched roof. There is a rubble porch with a blank tympanum above the entrance. The original layout, which includes a central passage and staircase, has been preserved. At the rear, there is a central kitchen extension that faces a square farmyard.
To the left of the farmhouse, there is a lower rubble barn that has been heightened in brick. This barn likely had a cross-passage, which is now blocked, located to the right within a blank area of the house.
