Description
Little Croft is a house, likely originally a shop, which dates back to around 1850 and was part of the Wootton Wawen, Henley and Ullenhall workhouse. It has 16th-century origins with later additions and alterations, including changes from the 18th century and a 20th-century extension to the rear. Originally timber-framed, the building is now encased in brick with painted render and has a plain-tile roof.
The exterior features two storeys and two first-floor windows. There is a central six-panel door with two glazed panels, set in a part-glazed porch. The house has 12-pane metal casement windows throughout, including one located in front of the stack on the first floor. The roof is gabled with a central stack that has a cornice, and both gable ends have an overhang with exposed purlins.
Inside, the house contains six- and four-panel doors, and the wall-plate and studs for the jetty are exposed. Wind braces are also visible, along with parts of the roof trusses. The house originally faced north, with its gable end onto an east-west road, which was the former main road through Wootton, at the junction with the north-south road that passed St Peter's Church.
