Description
Great Bluntsea Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It features rubble-stone walls that are rendered and has a slate roof with gable ends. The building has three brick stacks: one on the left, one on the right, and one that backs onto the cross-passage. It is two storeys high with five windows, which are wooden casements with glazing bars. The windows have wooden cills, except for one that has a concrete cill, and all have wooden lintels. There are two plank doors located to the left and right of the centre, with the left door being the original entry. The left-hand gable wall is made of brick and rises above four feet.
Inside, there is a fireplace that backs onto the cross-passage, featuring a shallow-chamfered segmental head. The interior also includes a plank-and-muntin partition with slight rolls, dating from around 1600, and flagstone floors. At the rear, there are modern outshuts with two catslide roofs.
