Little Dene

Little Dene is a house dating back to the 17th century, with later additions and a restoration carried out in the 1830s by R.B. Rampling. The house is constructed of stone with a slate roof, with the rear elevation stuccoed and featuring brick stacks. It is arranged over two storeys, originally with a two-bay front, and a three-bay return to a rear wing creating an L-shaped plan. The older part of the house has coped gables with kneelers. The first bay is a single storey, while the second projects under a gable, topped by a central gabled porch. Ovolo mullioned windows are present, with the ground floor windows featuring label moulds of two and three lights. The main entrance has a recessed cambered head and a door with vertical strips. There are three stone stacks with diagonal shafts, and a gable end facing the street has a first-floor leaded casement. The rear elevation is similar, featuring a blocked porch and some leaded casements, including a canted oriel. An entrance is located on the return of the end gabled projecting bay. A later section of the house has sash windows, and a gabled half-dormer with a triple sash window. Two cruciform brick stacks are also present.
