Great House Farmhouse And Adjoining Outbuilding At Rear

Great House Farmhouse and the adjoining outbuilding at the rear is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. The building is timber-framed with rendered infill on a rubble base, partly roughcast, and includes some brick refacing and rubble walling. It has slate roofs and a large brick stack at the center of the main ridge. The farmhouse is L-shaped, with the main part consisting of two bays aligned east to west and a central chimney. The cross-wing, likely also made up of two framed bays, is situated at the west end.

The structure has two storeys and an attic. The framing features six rows of square panels from the sill to the wall-plate, and there is a collar and tie-beam truss exposed at the north end of the cross-wing, which includes two collars, five struts to the lower collar, three to the upper collar, and a V-strut in the apex.

On the south front elevation, the main part has a four-light casement and a three-light casement on the ground floor, as well as two three-light casements on the first floor; all windows have plank weatherings. The cross-wing gable end on the left has a ground floor three-light casement, two first floor three-light casements (one with a plank weathering), and an attic light. The main entrance on the right features a gabled canopy and a 20th-century door. The gable retains its original brattished bargeboards, and there are attic lights at the east end of the main part, along with a half-glazed 20th-century lean-to outshut. The interior retains many chamfered main ceiling beams.

The adjoining outbuilding, also from the 17th century, has undergone significant alterations in the late 20th century. It is timber-framed with painted brick infill on a rubble base, some rubble walling, and plain tiled roofs. The outbuilding is T-shaped and has two levels. Its framing consists of two and three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, with large swept braces in the lower corners of the east gable end. The main east elevation of the range adjoining the farmhouse features a double doorway, and external steps lead to a loft door. The gable end of the northern range to the right has two 2-light 20th-century windows and a 20th-century door.
