Great Harmeston

Great Harmeston is a house built of whitewashed roughcast rubble stone, featuring a steep slate roof, wide boarded eaves with paired dentils, and rendered end stacks, which are larger on the left side. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a six-bay front that includes narrow 8-pane sash windows, some of which are horned, and a boarded door located in the third bay, where there was previously a gabled porch.

On the left end, there is a rubble stone lean-to that overlaps with a single-storey range covered by a corrugated iron roof, which is stepped down from the left gable and contains one 12-pane sash window. A narrower range is set back beyond this, and there is a small brick range at the end featuring a nogged band course. The right end wall is rendered, and there is a rear wing with a 4-panel door and an earlier 19th-century five-sided bay that has 8-pane sash windows, except for the centre which has a 16-pane sash.

The rear of the house has twin gable ends with brick stacks, slate-hung upper floors, and a whitewashed rubble ground floor. Additional sash windows are present on the main front, including an 8-pane sash on the first floor to the right and a 12-pane sash on the ground floor to the right of centre, along with a modern splay across the angle of the rear and cross-ranges. There is a low cross range at the junction of the main house and a single-storey service or agricultural range, which features a swept roof over a loft door that is accessed by outside steps leading to a landing above the ground floor entry. The single-storey range to the right has a door and a tiny window.

The interior is not available for inspection but is said to retain early to mid-18th-century features, including a staircase and substantial amounts of panelling. One room in the northern cross-range is noted for its dentil cornice and fluted pilasters.
