Description
1 Little Plealey is a farmhouse that was later converted into two cottages and is now a single house. It dates from the late 17th century and has undergone various additions and alterations over the years. The building is timber framed with plaster infill, standing on a rendered rubblestone plinth, and features a late 20th-century slate roof. It has a two-cell plan and is one storey high with an attic. The framing consists of rectangular panels, with three panels extending from the cill to the wall-plate. The windows show irregular placement, with four late 20th-century casements on the ground floor set within the framing panels. The leftmost and second from the right casements are located where former doorways used to be. There are late 20th-century gabled eaves dormers on both the left and right sides. The current entrance is through a late 20th-century lean-to porch on the left side. The building has a truncated external end stack on the right and a red brick stack positioned behind the ridge on the left. Inside, the ground floor rooms feature chamfered spine beams with ogee stops. There are also late 20th-century lean-to additions at the rear.
