Little Walwick

Little Walwick is a house dating from the early 18th century, with extensions added in the 19th century. The house is constructed of roughly shaped rubble stone with quoins and dressed stone details. It has a Lakeland slate roof, with stone slates on the rear wing.

The south elevation is divided into three sections. The central part is three storeys high with five bays, featuring a central four-panel door with a plain overlight, and twelve-pane sash windows to the lower floors. The second floor has a central fixed nine-pane window and further nine-pane sashes, some of which have been renewed. To the right is a slightly set-back three-storey bay with renewed tripartite sash windows (shortened on the second floor) and a blocked door on the ground floor. The central and right parts share a common roofline, with overhanging eaves and stepped end and ridge stacks. The lower left part is two storeys high, with three windows above two, all with renewed twelve-pane sashes, and a stepped left-end stack.

The left return reveals a rear wing with a boarded door in an irregular stone surround, and a sixteen-pane Yorkshire sash window under a lintel that has a raised grooved panel – possibly a re-used Roman piece. The interior of the house was not inspected. Twentieth-century extensions to the rear right are not considered significant.
