Description
No. 2 Little London is a cottage dating from the late 17th century to the 18th century, which has been restored and extended in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with quoins and a small section of red brick, topped with a thatched roof featuring a brick central ridge and right end stacks. The gables are stone coped, and there is a cemented plinth. The gable faces to the left at the front. The building has two storeys and a five-window range on the first floor, which includes two 3-light casements, two 2-light windows, and a 2-light eyebrow dormer to the right. On the ground floor, from the left, there are two 3-light windows, a 20th-century gabled porch with a door to the right and a 2-light window to the front, followed by a 2-light window, a 3-light window, a boarded 1-light window, and another 3-light window. On the right end, there is a 2-light stone mullion window on both floors, with the upper window featuring a hood mould.
