Description

Great Beccot Farmhouse is a farmhouse from the 17th century that was extended and altered in the 19th century. It is built of colourwashed rendered rubble and cob, topped with a slate roof featuring gable end brick stacks and an off-centre stack at the rear. The original layout consists of a three-cell through-passage plan with a stack backing onto the passage. The lower end was extended in the 19th century, and there is a right-angled gable-ended dairy and granary wing at the rear upper end.

The farmhouse is two stories high and has a five-window range of sashes with marginal glazing bars. There are two 20th-century porches with gabled corrugated iron roofs, a four-panelled door at the lower end, and a sash window with marginal glazing bars to the left. The hall features a sash window with 10 over 10 panes, and there is a plank door to the right-hand porch with a three-light window at the upper end. The rear outshut has a corrugated asbestos roof. The rear projection of the dairy, which has part of the granary above, includes 19th-century four and three-light windows. Inside, the hall has double ovolo-moulded beams, and much of the 19th-century joinery remains intact. The roof has not been inspected.
