Description
Little Cellbarnes Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1500, with a later outshot likely from the 17th century, as well as one modern and one 18th-century gabled rear extension. The front of the house is made of red brick from the 18th century and has two storeys with four windows. It features a high-pitched tiled roof with a large, off-centre chimney stack and a brick cornice. The windows are 2- and 4-light casements set in flush, moulded frames, although the door and ground floor windows have been renewed. The doorcase is a precise replica of a typical late 18th-century doorcase from St Albans, complete with pilasters featuring fluted necking, an entablature, and a pediment, both adorned with mutule cornices. There is a canted bay window on either side of the door. Inside, the farmhouse has several heavy, exposed beams and old, thick plank floors. It also features a flight of 16th-century stairs with thick, turned balusters and an old bake oven located in the rear outshot.
