Great Tong

Great Tong is a farmhouse that dates back to the 16th century or earlier, with later additions and alterations. The facade was modified in the mid-to-late 19th century. It features a timber frame with the ground floor constructed of chequered red and grey brick in Flemish bond, while the first floor is covered with banded plain and fishscale tiles. The roof is made of plain tiles and is hipped with gablets. The building has two storeys and includes a slender projecting stack at the left end, two rear stacks towards the center, and a brick ridge stack at the right end.

The windows are arranged irregularly and consist of eight sashes, including six 6-pane sashes and two 2-pane sashes, with five of the sashes grouped towards the center. There are two canted bays on the ground floor topped with ogee leaded roofs, each containing three 6-pane sashes. The central entrance features a half-glazed and panelled door with a flat bracketed hood above it. To the left, there is a rear lean-to, and to the right, a rear wing that has a multiple brick ridge stack. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to contain a smoke bay.
