Great Venhay Farmhouse

Great Venhay Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been divided into two parts. It dates from the late 17th century or earlier and may have been extended in the 18th century. The building is constructed of colourwashed rendered cob and stone rubble, with an asbestos slate roof that was formerly thatched. The roof is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end, featuring an axial stack and a projecting stack at the right end.

The farmhouse has a single depth plan that is four rooms wide, with a rear right lean-to. The details of the plan were unclear during the survey in 1987 as the interior was not fully inspected. The exterior is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical three-by-three window arrangement. There is a front door to the right of centre, which has a 20th-century porch, and an additional door to the left. The windows are mainly three-light timber small-pane casements from the 19th or 20th century, except for the ground floor left window, which is from the late 20th century.

Inside, the left-hand room features an exposed roughly-dressed crossbeam, while the rest of the house is said to have crossbeams that are mostly plastered over. The pegged roof trusses are visible in the upstairs room.
