Because it is more descriptive I think. "Common house” is a what? We own it in 
common, but we don’t say, lets go out and play Frisbee on the common lawn. Or 
park on the common parking. 

But “big” is a description that is visual and tactile. Not a legal definition. 
“Main house” is also used. “Let’s go up to the main house.”
