Great Cantal Farmhouse, including attached barn

This is a two-storey farmhouse with an attached barn, dating back to the 17th century, with later alterations and additions in the 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of whitened rubble stone and brick, with a slate roof featuring rear skylights. A brick gable stack is located on the right, and another brick stack is situated to the left of centre. The upper section of the farmhouse has been reconstructed in brick. The front elevation has a doorway to the right of centre, along with three windows. A further doorway and window are positioned to the left, where the roofline is lower, indicating the original height of the house and revealing timber framing on the rear elevation. The windows are wood-framed casements, with two and three lights, set within 19th-century openings. The lower storey windows have brick segmental heads, while the upper storey windows are set beneath the eaves. Both doorways have boarded doors. An outshut has been added to the left side of the rear elevation, alongside a two-light casement window to its right. Further to the right, where the roofline is lower and the wall is timber-framed, are additional two-light casements on both storeys.

The barn is timber-framed, with weatherboarding and corrugated iron cladding, and a hipped slate roof that matches the height of the older part of the farmhouse. It features boarded doors to the threshing bay, which is offset to the right, and another boarded door to the left. The loft area has two windows. In the end wall are double boarded doors, likely added during a partial conversion of the barn into a cart shed, alongside a loft window. An outshut has been added to the rear of the barn. The area in front of the barn is paved with cobbles.

A 1991 inspection revealed that the main entrance to the farmhouse opens onto an unusually broad passage with timber stairs leading to the rear, which may have originally been a room beyond the hall. An earlier entrance exists to the left, accessing a massive stone chimney stack built within pre-existing cruck-framing. The interior features boarded doors, stop-chamfered axial beams—some possibly reused—stone-flagged floors, and half-timbered and lath and plaster paneling. The hall contains a large fireplace with a timber bressumer and bake-oven, and a ceiling with stop-chamfered beams inserted during a 17th-century remodelling. To the left is a narrow section behind the chimney, separated from the barn by a timber-framed wall; it also has ogee-stopped beams. A rear doorway from the central passage leads into a lean-to service unit, extending behind the parlour and featuring a reused 18th-century connecting doorway. Upstairs, a significant cruck blade is retained. The box-frame roof structure dates to the 18th century, with collar and tie-beam trusses—the original purlins have been removed. A 17th-century balustrade with turned balusters is located on the landing.

The barn comprises three unequal bays with open trusses flanking the central bay. Some principal rafters are reused cruck blades, accompanied by two pairs of purlins. The threshing floor is stone-flagged and retains a fence on the right.
