Description
Littlebeck Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 19th century, with a 17th-century wing at the rear. It features a combination of brick and rendered timber frame construction, topped with a hipped glazed black pantile roof. The farmhouse has a 19th-century three-cell layout, while the rear retains a two-cell lobby entrance plan from the 17th century.
The front facade is regular and consists of three bays, with two storeys and 16-pane sash windows. A central porch with pilasters and a moulded flat hood leads to a six-panel door, where the top two panels are glazed, and the reveals are panelled. There are sash windows on either side of the door, set under a segmental arch, and three sashes on the first floor, with the central window having 12 panes. A plain brick cornice runs along the top, and there are two stacks on the rear wall of this section, connected by a narrow linking bay to the earlier two-bay range, which is also two storeys tall.
The ground floor has a 20th-century glass lean-to, and the upper floor features 20th-century windows. The rear wing has an exposed timber frame interior, with a heavy chamfer on the transverse beam and elaborately carved stops. The principal post is carved with a debased capital, while the respond appears to have been carved later in imitation.
