Description
Little Causeway Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 15th century and was remodeled in the 17th century. The building was divided into two dwellings and extended to the right in the mid-18th century. It features a render over a timber frame and brick construction, with a gabled roof covered in plain old tiles and pantiles at the rear. There are brick ridge stacks that were finished in 19th-century brick.
The original layout is an open-hall plan from the 15th century, consisting of a two-bay hall on the left and a probable floored chamber in the bays to the right, which was incorporated into the mid-18th-century extension, creating a two-unit house with a central lobby entrance. The farmhouse is one storey with an attic and has a three-window range. There is a blocked door to the lobby entrance on the right, a mid-20th-century lean-to porch at an angle, and a mid-20th-century garage extension to the left. The windows include mid-20th-century two and three-light casements, as well as two gabled dormers, with similar casements and dormers at the rear.
Inside, the 15th-century structure features a three-bay roof with smoke-blackened rafters. The former open-hall is to the left of the two bays, with chamfered wall posts, arch braces, and tie beams supporting a crown-post truss that has four-way bracing to the collar and collar purlin. There is a smoke-blackened partition from the 15th century that divides the hall from the bay to the right, which likely served as a storeyed chamber end. The hall was remodeled in the 17th century with the addition of a chimney stack and first floor, featuring a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace, along with stop-chamfered beams and joists in the room to the right. The room to the left contains reset late 15th-century moulded joists and an arched doorway. The bay at the right end of the 15th-century house has mid-18th-century softwood beams and joists in the ground floor room.
