Description
Great Woods Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 16th century, with a late 19th-century addition and mid to late 20th-century alterations. The building is rendered over stone rubble and cob, featuring a gable-ended asbestos-slate roof that was formerly thatched. It has a rendered front lateral stack, with the tops of the stacks made from 19th-century red brick.
The farmhouse probably has a three-room and cross-passage plan, facing west with the ground sloping to the right. The central room has a full-height projection and an external lateral stack at the front, likely with a cross passage to the right. There is a service room to the right with an external lateral stack at the rear, and an upper room to the left with an entrance in the left-hand gable end. A 19th-century wing extends to the rear of the upper room, featuring an integral brick end stack and a lean-to outshut to the north. A late 20th-century lean-to porch is located at the front, to the right of the stack.
The exterior is asymmetrical, with the lateral stack positioned to the right of center. The center of the first floor has a 19th-century three-light wooden casement window, while the ground floor features two 20th-century wooden casements: a three-light in the center and a two-light to the left. There is a boarded door to the right of the stack, accompanied by the late 20th-century porch. The front stack has chamfered offsets. The left-hand gable end includes a first-floor two-light wooden casement and a ground-floor boarded door.
Interior access is currently denied, but an old listing description mentions open fireplaces, a hall with moulded ceiling beams and joists, and a kitchen with a plain timber ceiling. Sawn purlin ends are visible in the left-hand gable end, and the owner reported chamfered beams in August 1987.
