Great Sellan Farmhouse

Great Sellan Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-19th century. The front is constructed of coursed granite with granite dressings, while the rest of the building is granite rubble with granite dressings. It has scantle slate roofs, with a hip over the main house, partially replaced with asbestos slate. The original brick chimney features a cogged cornice on its right side, while a 20th-century chimney is situated to the left and a taller chimney stands above the gable end of an adjoining wing on the far left.

The building’s plan incorporates a double-depth main house alongside a single-room service wing or cottage set back to the left, with an outshut at the rear. The main house has two rooms at the front, likely a kitchen/living room on the left and a parlour on the right, flanking an entrance hall/cross passage. This leads to a stair hall between two service rooms.

The south-south-east front is nearly symmetrical, with a central doorway flanked by windows. The original panelled front door has been boarded over and features an original four-pane overlight with wide panes. There are circa late 19th or 20th-century horned sash windows – four-pane sashes throughout, except for a six-pane sash in a slightly wider opening to the left of the doorway. The rear features original openings, including an original ledged door and circa late 19th-century horned sashes, except for an original fifteen-pane fixed-light stair window and the upper six-pane light of a hornless sash on the left. The interior has not been inspected.
