Description
Great Doccombe Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely has origins from the 16th century but has undergone significant alterations in the 20th century. It features rendered granite rubble walls and a tall dressed granite axial stack with dripmoulds and granite capping. There is a smaller later dressed granite gable stack to the right that slightly projects. A former gable end stack on the left has been removed since 1953. The roof is slate with gable ends.
The original layout was a three-room-and-through-passage plan, which has been considerably altered. The hall axial stack backs onto the passage, while the lower room to the right is heated by the gable end stack. The inner room stack at the higher gable end to the left has been removed. There are probably 19th-century outshuts added behind the hall and inner room.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front and a door leading to the passage located to the right of centre. The windows are likely late 19th-century two-light casements with small panes in small openings, and there is a one-light casement to the left of centre on the ground floor. A 20th-century glazed door is present, and there are granite rubble outshuts at the rear, with a possible blocked doorway to their left at the rear of the passage.
The interior has been completely modernised in the 20th century, with the only surviving early feature being the hall fireplace, which has a 20th-century lintel but retains chamfered granite jambs and an area on the right-hand side with an arched stone opening. The back of the stacks, facing the former passage, is constructed of dressed granite blocks.
