Gingerland Farmhouse and front garden railings. Farmhouse. C17 with later alterations. Cob, stone plinth, plastered under gabled-end slate roof. Formerly a 3-room, cross-passage plan with a left-hand (lower-end) rear wing. Right-hand external end stack (possibly inserted in 1712) heats the former inner room (when it was converted into a kitchen), 2 rear lateral stacks, probably external originally, but now enclosed, heat Hall and lower end respectively. All with brick shafts. 2 storeys.
Front: of 2 elements, a symmetrical 3-window range to the left and an assymetrical 2-window range to the right, both under the same roof-ridge level, but with a slight difference in eaves level. The 3-window range with 16-pane hornless sashes above; ground floor with 16 pane hornless sash window to either side of a central panelled door with panelled reveals under porch with moulded canopy supported by
Tuscan columns and pilasters. The right-hand element with a 2 and 3-light barred casement window to 1st floor, a 3-light casement window below to the left of a planked door under late-C19 or early-C20 slate hipped roofed porch on shaped
brackets.
Right-hand elevation: one 4-light ovolo-moulded stone casement window to lst floor to rear of stack, and 2 C19 3-light openings below.
Rear: 4-light ovolo-moulded stone casement window; three 2 and 3-light C19 casement windows and a tall pointed 2-light window with Y-tracery to stairwell. The rear wing has a 3-light 1st floor window with deeply chamfered surround.
Interior: extreme right-hand room with 2 chamfered and stopped cross beams; the room is dominated by a massive end fireplace with a great chamfered bressumer which originally extended across the entire room; a dated ledge to the rear of this reads 'FIB, 1712'; brick and side ovens. Fielded panel cupboard doors mark access to a (now dismantled) staircase. Roof, all C19; the end stack is all cob above the hearth; a blocked 3-light window (visible only internally) in the gable wall.
The early-C19 railings to the front garden are included in this listing. Other details: LBS No 95198.
