Great Smithcott Farmhouse

Great Smithcott Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features plain tile and stone slate roofs. The building consists of two distinct ranges that are linked corner to corner. The west range, which is more formal and dates to around 1730, has a five-window front with concrete plain tiles, coped gables, and end stacks. It includes a moulded stone plinth, rusticated quoins, and 18-pane sash windows with stone sills and stone heads. The heads are decorated with incised keystones and voussoirs, and the ground floor windows have cornices. The central entrance features a six-panel door with a segmental hood supported by scrolled brackets, and there are painted timber panelled piers beneath the brackets. The south end wall has two attic and two first-floor blocked windows, which also have similar corniced heads.

The north end includes an added outbuilding with a two-light mullion window and a boarded window above. The rear of the farmhouse has a central gabled projection with an ashlar-headed 24-pane stair-light. The east range extends north from the rear gable of the front range and is covered with stone slates. It has a ridge stack and a north stack, featuring a four-window range of cyma-moulded flush stone mullion windows typical of the mid-18th century, with dripstones on the lower windows and all having brick voussoirs and wedge keystones. There are hipped leaded dormers on each side, and the windows consist of three lights on each side, with a two-light window in the centre and a door in the second bay from the right. The door is a plank door set in a flush moulded surround, and it retains original iron leaded casements. The building also displays flush quoins and dentilled brick eaves, with a 20th-century lean-to on the north end.
