Great Netherton Farmhouse

Great Netherton Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century, with early 18th and early 19th century alterations. It features Flemish and irregular brick bonds, a stone plinth, stone slate on the garden side, and a tiled roof on the yard side. The building has a 'U' plan and is four windows wide across the garden front, with wings that project back one bay.

On the garden front, there are sash windows with flat, rubbed brick arches, with a sash window on the right and another on the left, adjacent to a flush stone chimney that is offset on the left side of the first floor. To the left, there is a half-glazed door with two bottom panels under a cambered brick arch, a painted dummy window to the right, and a single-light window to the left, all beneath a hipped, tiled lean-to porch supported by trellis. There is also a sash window to the left.

On the first floor, there are two sashes to the right, a late 20th-century casement window under a cambered brick arch over the front door, and a sash window to the left. The gables at each end have windows under cambered brick arches, and there are dentil eaves between them. The stone chimney is capped with two separate plain brick flues that combine at the top, with an external chimney on the left.

The right return features a three-light mullion and transom window under a cambered brick arch on the left, and a three-light late 20th-century casement in a similar opening on the right. On the first floor, there are two three-light casements with iron opening lights, and leaded lights on the right window, all under cambered brick arches. The external chimney is located on the right return, and there is a single-storey lean-to in the corner at the front. Behind the chimney, there is a large tank cut from a single stone, dated 1843.

Inside, there is a timber-framed cross wall on the left of the right gable, with the right front room serving as a dairy featuring slate shelves, a cheese press, and hanging racks. The room behind has a wide fireplace with a cambered, voussoired stone arch. There is a scratch-moulded door on the first floor. The roof has a three-bay centre with king-post trusses, two pairs of butt purlins, and a plank ridge; the truss in the left wing has a collar and tie beam. The farmhouse is likely a 17th-century 'H' plan house with a cross passage on the left and a lateral stone chimney in the centre, which has been faced in brick in stages, with the centre widened to engulf the chimney and provide a flush front to the garden in the 18th century. The farmhouse forms a group with the nearby barn.
