Description

Little Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse located on St Neots Road in Bolnhurst. The building features a combination of colour washed rough cast and brick over a timber frame, topped with a thatched roof. It is designed in an L-shape, consisting of one storey and attics. On the north elevation, there is an off-centre front door that is sheltered by a 20th-century thatched gabled porch. The ground floor includes one 2-light casement window and two 2-light horizontal sash windows, while the attic has a dormer with a 2-light horizontal sash window. A red brick double ridge stack is present, complete with a linking string course.
