Description
Great Chesters Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the early to mid-18th century, with additions made in the mid-19th century. The structure is made of coursed rubble, rendered on the front, and features a purple slate roof with stone chimneys. The original part of the farmhouse is a three-storey, two-bay main block, which has a two-storey, one-bay addition on the right side from the 19th century.
At the junction of the two sections, there is a 19th-century gabled stone porch that has a boarded door and a four-pane overlight. The main block has four-pane sash windows in 19th-century openings on the ground floor, and two replaced sashes in raised surrounds on the first floor. There is also a central horizontal window in a raised surround just below the eaves. The roof features coped gables and shaped kneelers, with end stacks that have top ledges and water tables.
The slightly lower addition has four-pane sashes on each floor, and its roof has lower eaves and ridge, with a coped right gable and a right end stack with a top band. At the rear of the main block, there is a 19th-century two-storey outshut and a gabled porch. Inside, the roof of the main block has two pairs of upper crucks with collars, which support two rows of adzed purlins and are crossed at the ridge piece. There is a single-storey farm building on the left return, but it is not of special interest.
