Description

Great Holts Farmhouse is a 15th-century timber-framed house located on Waltham Road. It has undergone alterations in the 16th and 17th centuries and is finished with plaster. The building features a hall and a cross wing at the west end, which jetties out on the first storey at the front. The windows are casements, and the roof is tiled with one gabled dormer. At the time of the survey, the house was empty and in a dilapidated condition.
