Summary
Now destroyed. The site of a farmhouse at Gate Farm.

The photo shows the east elevation to be the main frontage and this had a central entrance door which provided access to the farmyard, flanked by a window either side and with three windows on the first floor. The building and extension is depicted on the 1st edition OS map, though the date of construction is not known. The date and circumstances of destruction are also unknown but pre-date 2000.
