Great Sheephurst Farmhouse

Great Sheephurst Farmhouse is an early to mid-18th century farmhouse situated at right angles to the road. The ground floor is constructed of chequered red and grey brick, while the first floor is tile-hung. It has a plain tile roof. The building was originally constructed with a lobby entry plan, comprising three timber-framed bays and a stack bay, with a two-bay room to the left of the stack and a single-bay room to the right. It is two storeys high, with a rendered plinth and a half-hipped roof. A red and grey brick ridge stack is located to the right of the centre. The fenestration is irregular, featuring three casement windows: one two-light and one three-light window to the left of the stack, and one three-light window to the right. A ribbed door is set under an open timber-framed porch beneath the stack. There is a single-storey brick addition with a gabled plain-tile roof to the left, set back from the gable end. A two-storey, two-bay rear lean-to extends to the right, with a painted brick ground floor, tile-hung first floor, and a slate roof. A single-storey rear lean-to is located to the left. Inside, the left ground-floor room features a chamfered cross-beam. The first floor exposes timber framing, including shouldered gunstock-jowled and shaped jowled posts and straight bracing.
