Description

Greatwood Farmhouse is a former farmer's farmhouse that has been converted into a detached house. It has a late 16th century core range, an early 19th century east wing, and a late 19th century west outshut. The original 16th century section is constructed with a timber box frame and features a thatched roof, while the additions are rendered, with the right side covered in Welsh slates and the left in double Roman tiles. The core range has a paired ashlar stack, and there are end brick stacks for the wings. The building has an L-shaped core range with the east wing creating a T-shaped plan.

The south front features a central gabled block that is two stories high and has an attic, projecting from the two-story range to the left, which has upper windows visible on the north front. To the right is a two-story, two-window 19th century range. The windows throughout the building are small pane casements. At the time of the last survey in July 1986, lime plastering and some refenestration were underway, including the insertion of French windows to the left of the advanced block. The north front includes a plank door to the 19th century wing, a plank door with a moulded architrave and thatched porch to the core range, and another 19th century plank door.

Inside, the core range features an inglenook fireplace in the north room and a smaller fireplace with moulded jambs in the south room. There are several bar-stop-chamfered beams, and in the south parlour, there are complex moulded beams with Tudor rose stops.
