2/47 Gate Farmhouse 15.11.54 (formerly listed as Whitegate Farmhouse)
-- II
Former farmhouse, probably C16, with early C17 alterations. One storey and attics: a short 2-storey crosswing towards the road is probably a C17 addition. Timber-framed and plastered with large moulded panels of C18 design; a reproduction of c.1980. Plaintiled roofs: C20 raking casement dormers. An axial C17 chimney of red brick with recessed corners to the oblong shaft; in the cross-wing is an internal gable chimney with similar shaft. C20 casements, and some C16/C17 mullioned windows restored and glazed. A short wing on the south side added in early C17 is jettied at 1st floor with exposed joists and knees. Above is an oriel with coved cill, perhaps a C20 restoration: the oversailing gable tiebeam has turned drop finials. C20 boarded entrance door with arched head. This wing appears to have been originally at the rear, the main entrance front being on the north side. Interior not examined.
