Description

Great Nunty's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. The main range, which is two bays and faces southeast, is from the 16th century and features an external stack at the left end, although it has been mainly rebuilt in the 20th century. The right end has a three-bay crosswing that extends to the front and back, with a stack located in the middle bay against the main range, dating from the 17th century. The main range has one storey with attics, while the crosswing is two storeys high.

At the rear left angle, there is a 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension made of painted brick and roofed with red clay corrugated tiles. On the ground floor, there are two 20th-century casements and one sash window. The first floor features one 20th-century casement and another in a gabled dormer. The entrance has a plain boarded door. The crosswing's roof includes a gablet hip at the rear and features jowled posts.

Inside, the main range has plain joists of horizontal section arranged longitudinally. The central tiebeam has been severed to accommodate a heavy framed doorway that was inserted in the 17th century. The crosswing contains chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists of vertical section that are jointed to them using soffit tenons with diminished haunches. There is a wide wood-burning hearth facing forward, with a cupboard in the left jamb that has a panelled door. A similar hearth faces backwards, which has been modified for a coal-burning grate by the addition of a brick flank and cupboard. The house features 17th and 18th-century internal doors and retains original hardwood floorboards. In the rear bay of the crosswing, the upper room is open to the roof and ceiled to the rafters.
