Description
The Great House is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a front elevation of four bays and paired gables in the attic. The exterior is clad in roughcast, topped with a slate gabled roof. On the ground floor, there are four stone steps leading to a semi-circular headed door opening, which contains a six fielded panelled door, a fanlight with radiating tracery, and an open pediment supported by reeded pilasters. To the right of this door, there are two sash windows, each three panes wide. The second bay has a doorway similar to the first, and the last bay features a shop front that possibly has a 19th-century casing but with 20th-century windows.
On the first floor, there are four 12-pane sash windows, and in the attic, each gable has a small Venetian window of vernacular design. The northwest side elevation has an original transomed and mullioned window, while a four-light transomed and mullioned window can be seen from the staircase of number 30 on the southeast side elevation. The rear elevation includes, from the left, a two-light stone mullioned window, a corbelled chimney, and a third feature that is now concealed by an 18th to 19th-century northwest rear wing; this last feature is the original first-floor entry, which has a moulded and chamfered depressed four-centred stone arch. The original southeast rear wing has a corbelled stone chimney on its gable end.
Internally, aside from the first-floor entry, other original features are hidden. The interior of the original southeast rear wing has not been inspected. There are four fielded panel doors on the first floor in number 34.
