'(7) GORE FARM (81931934), house, now of two storeys but originally single-storyed with attics, has squared rubble walls and tiled slate roofs (Plate 31). It dates from the 16th century and was heightened and enlarged on the S. probably in the 18th century. The continous footing courses suggest that the S. bay occupies the site of an original building. Inside, the surving original range has a plan of class T. The rooms have heavy and elaborately moulded oak main beams and wall-plates, and moulded cross-beams. The open fireplaces are blocked; externally, the N. fireplace has a large chimneybreast with four weathered offsets; the adjacent oven has a lean-to leaf.'
