Great Goytre Farmhouse

Great Goytre Farmhouse is a large farmhouse from the early 18th century, constructed of rubble stone. It features a 20th-century slate roof, with end stacks that are also from the 20th century, resting on broad stone bases. The front of the house is symmetrical and two-and-a-half storeys tall. The attic includes three gabled dormers that start at the eaves level, and there are 18th-century three-light casement windows with a 3+3+3 pane arrangement; the middle window has three fixed lights with overlapping panes. On the first floor, there are three 20th-century three-light transom windows. The window heads are segmentally arched and made of stone voussoirs, with thin stone sills.

The ground floor features a central entrance doorway with a rectangular five-pane overlight and a gabled canopy. The door is a late 17th-century six-panel design, with the top two panels fielded and the bottom four flush. On either side of the doorway are similar 20th-century three-light transoms. At the rear, there is a 17th-century wing that is two storeys high and has an end stack. On the northeast elevation, the first floor has two 20th-century windows in older openings with timber lintels; the ground floor has a similar window on the left and a 17th-century four-light sunk chamfer mullion window on the right, with the left two lights retaining wooden stanchions. The gable of the 17th-century wing has blocked window openings on either side of a central stack on the first floor and another blocked opening on the ground floor to the left.

The 18th-century house has a two-unit plan with a central staircase. The ground floor features six-panel doors, while the first floor has two-panel doors and the attic has boarded doors. The staircase makes a quarter turn with winders and has square newels with chamfered caps and rectangular section balusters. There is an ovolo moulded ceiling beam on the first-floor landing. The five-bay attic is ceiled at the collar, and the centre trusses do not have tie beams; instead, the feet of the principal rafters are supported by short spurs connected to chamfered wall posts that run down the inner wall and are morticed into the floor beams below. The 17th-century wing has stone flagged floors, a dairy with stone shelves, a plaster ceiling with a moulded cornice on the first floor, and evidence of a former fireplace stair at the gable.
