Description
Little Pentons is a 17th century or earlier cottage. It is a single storey building with an attic, constructed with a timber frame and plaster rendering, and has a thatched roof hipped to the left side. The roof is punctuated by three eyebrow dormers, and features casement windows with square leaded lights. An off-centre board door is sheltered by a thatched porch supported on timber. A red brick chimney stack is also off-centre, and a plain red tiled storey extension adjoins the right side of the building.
