FIVE GABLES


Description:  Farmhouse and associated outbuildings. The farmhouse is of partly one and partly two storeys with some attics, mostly framed and plastered, with various brick casing and underbuilding, and tiled roofs. It has a 15th or early 16th century nucleus, originally an open hall. During the 17th century an addition was made on the west side of the hall and at about the same time the hall was floored and a comparatively large cross wing built. The outbuildings, north of the house, include a dovecote and granary, both 17th century, and an 18th century barn. The dovecote is framed, part plastered and part boarded, with a hipped tiled roof. The granary is also framed with brick nogging above a tall brick plinth and a half-hipped tiled and pantiled roof. The barn is aisled, of three bays with doors in the middle bay. It has a boarded timber frame and a roof now covered with corrugated iron.
