Little Gables

Little Gables is a pair of cottages from the 18th century that have been combined into one building. They are timber framed and plastered, with a roof that was formerly thatched but was without cladding at the time of the survey in June 1984. The building has four bays facing northwest and features a central chimney stack. There is a single-storey extension with a hipped roof at the right end, which dates from the 19th century. The structure is one storey with attics and includes two 19th-century horizontally sliding sash windows with 24 lights, one 20th-century casement window, and two 19th-century horizontally sliding sash windows with 12 lights in gabled dormers. The entrance has two plain boarded doors with shallow hoods supported by wooden brackets that have a double ogee profile. Inside, the building has exposed framing, some original wattle and daub infill, primary straight bracing, and chamfered transverse beams with joists that have a vertical section. The central stack has been rebuilt.
