Little Callipers

Little Callipers is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with extensions added in the 19th century and 1909, as indicated by the rainwater head. The original core of the house comprises a ground floor of brick, now rendered, and a timber-framed first floor covered in roughcast. Later brick additions are partially whitewashed. The roofs are tiled.

The original section of the house is a three-bay, single-story building with an attic. The front has an entrance to the left, and three windows with timber glazing bars on the ground floor. There are three gabled dormers in the attic. The left-hand gable end has a window and a decorative, imitation timber frame. A 19th-century addition is set back to the right, featuring a canted bay and a gabled dormer. An axial brick stack on the front pitch, with four diagonal shafts, adjoins the original range. The right-hand gable end of the original section has a first-floor oriel above a 20th-century lean-to. Gabled projections to the rear of the original section connect to substantial late 19th-century and 1909 additions. The earlier addition has a tile-hung canted bay to the right, an entrance, and a sash window to the left, beneath a half-hipped roof. The later addition has a canted bay, two-light casements, a dentilled gable, and two full-height canted bays to the rear.

Inside, the ground floor features chamfered bearers, jowled posts, braces to cambered tie beams, queen struts to collars clasping purlins, and wind braces.
