Description
Little Penvites is a house dating from around 1560. It has a timber frame and is covered in painted weatherboarding, topped with a gabled peg tile roof that features a stack located behind the ridgeline towards the east end. The building is two storeys high, with a single-storey lean-to extension on the east end. It is a long wall jetty house, showcasing three original jetty brackets on the front and one more exposed inside Penvites to the west. The front façade includes a mix of 19th-century casement windows and one 17th-century window with some rectangular leaded lights. The structure features jowled posts, chamfered joists with soffit tenons and diminished haunches, shallow arch braces to tie beams, and a 'V' strut wind-braced side purlin roof. The rear wall has an inglenook stack and one complete diamond mullion window.
