Description
Great Haye is a farmhouse, now divided into multiple residences, with an early 17th-century origin. It has been expanded over time, with a front range rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century and further altered in the 20th century. The construction is primarily rubble, with the front face stuccoed and lined out, featuring granite dressings, and a concrete tiled roof. Originally planned with three rooms and a through passage, the front porch is now located at the rear. A lateral stack originally stood in the hall, while an unheated inner room and gable-end stack have been removed.
The front of the house was completely refronted in the 19th century with further additions. The main block is two storeys high with a 1:2:3 window arrangement. The central bay projects forward with a gable, surmounted by a Doric porch with double, half-glazed outer doors and a central overlight. Behind the doors are panelled double doors with an overlight featuring geometrical glazing bars, alongside plate glass sashes. The first floor has three sashes. A single-storey block attached to the right has a hipped roof and sash window. A two-storey block attached to the left also has a hipped roof, deep eaves that blend with the main roofline, and a two-storey canted bay to the right with a French window and sidelights. Additional windows are a four-pane sash to the front first floor and plate glass sashes to each side, similar sashes are on the ground floor left, and a sash to the first floor. A projecting two-storey wing to the left has a French window and overlight, and a four-pane sash above. The left return displays two ground floor sashes, a 20th-century half-glazed door, an external stair, and a first-floor sash. The right return shows early rendering, with a ground floor six-pane light in a 19th-century stone surround and a two-light mullioned casement with three panes in each light, set within a chamfered granite surround. Two similar granite windows are on the first floor. Walls step forward to the right, incorporating a single-storey brick lean-to and a doorway in the angle. The right side of the facade is not rendered, featuring a ground floor four-light casement with chamfered granite mullions, and a similar three-light casement on the first floor.
The rear elevation is rendered and divided into two bays to the left. The ground floor features a 20th-century half-glazed door and sash window with four-pane sidelights, and two sashes on the first floor. A lateral stack is present. A two-storey porch has a two-centred arched opening with an inner half-glazed door, a nine-pane sash under the eaves, and a two-light gabled dormer above. The next two bays to the right have a three-pane light and a sixteen-pane sash on the ground floor, with a twelve-pane and a sixteen-pane sash under the eaves, and a four-light gabled dormer. A half-glazed door is situated at an upper level to the side. A stack rises from the roof pitch, perhaps marking a former gable end prior to roof alterations. Two further bays to the right have a cellar opening, a 20th-century light above, a small two-light casement to the right, and a two-light casement under the eaves. The side of these bays has a three-light casement on the ground floor and a two-light casement on the first floor. The end two bays are set back, featuring a 20th-century porch in the angle, a multi-pane light above, two 20th-century lights to the right and a four-pane sash under the eaves.
The interior has undergone substantial alterations and is not fully accessible. A fireplace remains at the left end, originating from the lateral rear stack in the hall, constructed with granite roll-mouldings and a mantel supported by moulded corbels. Two shields bearing coats of arms are present, including one displaying three lambs and a hob grate.
