Description
The Little Cob House is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the early 19th century. The structure features part timber framing with painted brick infill, as well as brick replacement walling and refacing. It has a tiled roof and external brick stacks at the gable ends, which have tiled offsets and over-sailing cap courses. The house consists of three framed bays plus one brick bay, and it is two storeys high with a cellar. The roof has been raised at the front elevation of the older part.
At the rear, the timber framing is visible, with two irregularly sized panels extending from the sill to the wall-plate, and short straight braces in the upper corners. Part of a queen strut truss is exposed at the east gable end. The front elevation of the 17th-century part features a ground floor multi-paned metal casement window and a 20th-century casement window, along with three first floor multi-paned metal casements. All the metal windows have cambered heads and plank weatherings. There is a gabled, timber-framed porch in the central bay with a planked door.
To the left, the 19th-century part includes a ground floor casement window and a flat-roofed 20th-century dormer. The left side elevation has a mid-19th century hipped, single-storey addition with a casement window in the front elevation. The right side elevation features an outshut with a planked door that has a cambered head. The building is noted for having an unusually large cellar and is believed to have possibly been a public house at one time.
