MORETONHAMPSTEAD SX 79 NW 1/171 Great Howton Farmhouse including - outbuilding adjoining

- II

Farmhouse. C17 or earlier, much altered in C19. Granite rubble walls, rendered at front and most of wing. Slate roof with gable ends, attached barn has corrugated iron roof. Axial stack is rendered, probably stone. Granite block gable end stack both to main range and wing, with granite capping; oven projection beside wing stack. 3-room-and-through-passage plan, the lower end to left, below the passage, rebuilt as barn. Axial hall stack backing onto passage and heated inner room with gable end stack. In circa late C17 a kitchen wing was built at the rear of the higher end with a gable end stack and adjoining oven; a 2-storey porch was built at the front of the passage. Possibly at this time the lower end was replaced by the barn although there might be some earlier fabric possibly of a shippon. In mid to late C19 the house was modernised, heightened and refenestrated. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3-window front to house with storeyed porch to left. 2- light circa late C19 casements with glazing bars. Porch has shallow 4-centred late C17 granite arched doorway with hoodmould and chamfered on inside and out. Mock C19 hoodmould in plaster above porch window. Stone mounting block to left of doorway. Early C20 plank and glazed door to passage inside porch. Barn has much lower roof line with doors to right and left and 1st floor loading door to right. Interior inaccessible at time of survey but passage seen to have dressed granite fireplace back with chamfered plinth and cornice. There is also known to be a C17 date carved in plaster in a first floor room.
