The Great House

The Great House is a house built around 1740, located on Great House Street in Timberscombe. The exterior features roughcast grooved to resemble ashlar, with a quoin pilaster strip on the left side, flat band string courses raised to the sills of the windows, and a moulded cornice. It has a shallow pitch slate roof and roughcast stacks at the gable ends. The building has a double pile plan and stands three storeys tall with five bays. The windows are segmental headed sash windows, with 15 panes on the second floor and 18 panes on the others. The central entrance includes a segmental headed 12-pane light above a raised and field panelled door, which has inset many paned lights.

To the right, there is a hipped single bay, two-storey addition featuring an 18-pane sash window. To the left, there is a three-bay service wing with a pyramid roof, which has 20th-century fenestration. At the rear, there are three gabled wings.

The interior, which has only been partially seen, includes 18th-century raised and fielded panelling in the ground floor room to the left of the panelled hall, a segmental archway, and a central stairway with urn balusters and some twisted balusters, as well as a cut string.
