Description
Great Heath Farmhouse and the attached cider house to the north-west is a 17th-century farmhouse that underwent extensive alterations in 1851. The building has a timber-framed core that has been refaced with sandstone rubble, along with later brick additions and brick shafts for the stacks. It features a hipped Welsh slate roof and has a rectangular plan with a cross-wing at the south-east end. There are axial and lateral stacks, and the entrance is located on the south-west front.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with a single-storey section to the north-west. On the south-west front, there are two three-light glazing bar casement windows with square-headed 19th-century labels. Similar windows flank the doorway, which has a decorative overlight and a six-panelled door. To the right, there is a brick addition that includes a similar two-light window and a canted bay window on the ground floor, featuring glazing bar sash windows. The date of 1851 is noted below the eaves.
While the interior of the main house has not been inspected, the single-storey section to the north-west retains a cider mill and press, which bears the initials W W and the date of 1771.
