Description

Little Gables is a house dating from around the mid-17th century, which was restored in 1920. It is built of limestone ashlar and has a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys with an attic. The windows are rebated and chamfered, featuring mullions. On the ground floor, there are two four-light windows with a continuous drip course, although the right-hand window is a 20th-century restoration. The central window on the first floor, located under the eaves, is a two-light window. The two outer windows are three-light windows with hood moulds, and their heads are partly within gables. Each gable has a one-light attic window at the apex. There is a blocked doorway on the left with a 17th-century surround that has a canted head. The current doorway, situated between the ground floor windows, features a 20th-century surround with a Tudor arch, carved spandrels, and a hood with lozenge stops. The gables are coped and have chimneys, with the left-hand chimney having two diagonal shafts. The rear wall has windows and gables similar to those at the front. There is a lower range on the right, which was once part of the range that includes No 71 High Street. This lower range has two storeys and one bay, featuring a two-light wooden ground floor window and a two-light stone mullion window above, both with leaded panes, as well as a doorway on the right with a glazed door.
