Little Laceby Farmhouse

Little Laceby Farmhouse is a farmhouse and adjoining stable/coach-house, now incorporated into a larger house, dating back to approximately 1800, with alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with the right return rendered; sandstone ashlar dressings are also present. It has a concrete tile roof. The layout is L-shaped, comprising a double-depth house with a two-room central entrance hall facing the front, containing stairs to the rear, and a stable/coach-house to the rear left. A plinth runs along the base. The ashlar doorcase features Ionic columns with swags between volutes, a fluted entablature, and a dentilled open pediment. The 20th-century front door is set within this doorcase, under a radial fanlight in a plain round-headed reveal with archivolt. Windows have channelled and fluted key wedge lintels and projecting cills; the windows themselves are 20th-century replacements set in flush wood surrounds. A 20th-century modillion eaves cornice runs along the top. The roof is hipped, with end stacks. The rear range retains coach-house doors under a timber lintel, and two first-floor louvred hatches; other windows are 20th-century casements. Inside, the entrance hall features a moulded cornice, while the stairhall has a round arch with archivolt and panelled reveal. The geometric staircase has a wreathed handrail and fluted balusters. The main rooms have moulded ceiling cornices, and the interior includes 6-beaded-panel doors and window shutters within architraves.
