Description
Gosport House is a 17th-century building constructed from rubble masonry, featuring a modern roof with wide eaves. It has three brick chimney stacks and one large rubble stack on the west end wall. The house has paired casement windows with leaded lights throughout, complemented by cambered brick voussoirs at the north end. The west range includes swept roof dormers, while a vertical joint indicates that the east range may date from a different period. There is a modern extension and a modern porch with a six-panel door located at the angle between the main and west ranges.
Adjoining the house is a rubble wall with a brick voussoired pointed arch entrance, which connects to a rubble chimney breast and extends south to an iron gate leading into the stable courtyard.
Inside, the building retains a possibly earlier 17th-century seven-well plain plaster ceiling with roll moulding along the beam edges, along with deep window splays.
