Description

Littler Grange is a farmhouse that dates back to the late 16th century, with additions and alterations made in the early to mid-19th century. The building features a timber frame with painted wattle and daub infill in the 16th-century section, while the later part is constructed of Flemish bond brick. It has a slate roof covering the entire structure and stands two storeys tall.

The entrance front shows the 16th-century wing on the right, which slightly projects and has a sandstone plinth. The ground floor is characterized by 10 x 2 cells of small framing, with angle braces on the sides and a central 4-light 19th-century casement window. The first floor jetties out, supported by a moulded bressumer and consoles. The first floor features small framing arranged in 10 x 3 cells with angle braces, and the jettied gable has brackets below, a moulded bressumer, and decorative small framing with quatre-circles at the corners of each cell. There is a blocked 4-light window in the center and a raking buttress to the right of this block.

To the left, slightly recessed, is the later addition, which has vitrified headers. The door on the right has six raised and fielded panels and a moulded door-case with an open pediment. There are two bays of 3-light, cambered-headed casement windows on the ground floor to the left, with similar windows on the first floor and a single-light window above the doorway, all featuring stone sills.

At the rear, there is 20th-century walling to the left of the 16th-century block and a projecting 19th-century wing on the right. Inside, the parlour has ovolo moulded beams that are end-stopped and supported by wooden consoles. Next to the fireplace is a 19th-century cheese oven with double doors and two stones divided into quarters on the bottom shelf. The first-floor room of the 16th-century section also has ovolo moulded ceiling beams and the same moulded consoles as those found downstairs and on the entrance front.
