The Great House and attached outbuildings

The Great House is a house with attached farm buildings, dating from the 18th century. The house is faced in whitewashed roughcast, with a slate roof. It features a rendered left-hand stack, a stone ridge stack with stone dripcourses, and a red brick right-hand stack. The house is two storeys and an attic, with a long four-window front. A projecting gabled two-storey porch bay is central to the front. Three four-pane horned sash windows sit above a sill band, with three modern PVCu windows below, replacing earlier sashes. The porch gable has a square PVCu upper window and a cambered-arched doorway with a PVCu door. A whitewashed rubble stone north end wall has one first-floor PVCu window. The rear of the house is of rubble stone, with a southwest rear wing and an end stack. The rear wing has a lean-to outshut on the rear, filling the angle to the main house’s rear wall, which has a first-floor centre window and a 20th-century window to the ground floor left.

Attached to the left of the house are outbuildings. The first section is a whitewashed, lofted range with a corrugated iron roof, a coped gable on the left, and a central cambered-headed door. A loft door is above and to the left of the door, and there is a door to the extreme left. The next section is lower, likely a later addition possibly consisting of a stable and cartshed, also with a corrugated iron roof. A 20th-century lean-to milking parlour has been added to the right. This section is followed by five doors, all with stone voussoirs, some of which are partially blocked as windows. The final L-plan section has a partly collapsed roof of asbestos sheet and slate. This part features a window and door with stone voussoirs, while the return has a cart entry with an oak lintel and a loft light above. A gable end has a loft door and outside steps.

The house originally had a three-room plan, with a staircase hall located between the kitchen to the north and two former rooms, now combined into one, to the south. The staircase dates to the early 19th century, with a single flight to a landing, stick balusters, and bulbous turned newels, along with scrolled tread ends. Six-panel doors, also from the early 19th century, are found throughout the house. The kitchen has been modernised but is said to contain a fireplace measuring approximately 4.3 metres by 1.2 metres, hidden behind the present north wall. The south room has a six-panel door, a large stone fireplace at the north end with stone voussoirs, a recess with a timber lintel to the right, and two large chamfered beams. One beam—at the south end of the room— is encased in 20th-century plaster, but sits on stone corbels. A 20th-century fireplace is located at the south end, with a stone corbel under the ceiling to the right. The first floor has high ceilings and a corridor along the rear wall. A room in the rear wing on the first floor has a 19th-century three-sided boarded ceiling and was formerly a grain loft. Front rooms have six-panel doors. A small 19th-century fireplace with an iron grate is in the middle room.
