Description

Little Welnetham Hall is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th century. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring a mix of timber framing encased in painted brick, along with 19th-century brick extensions. The roofs are a combination of plaintiled and slated, with a plaintiled gabled dormer and axial chimneys made of red brick. The early 19th-century small-pane sash windows add to its character, and there is a panelled entrance door from the 20th century.

To the left, there is a truncated hall range from around 1600, with a further section to the left that was demolished in the 19th century, leaving original open fireplaces now located in the gable wall. An original cross-wing, which is now in the center of the building, was previously gabled; during the mid-19th century, the eaves were raised and a new hipped slated roof was constructed. An early 19th-century rear wing was added, along with another wing to the right in the mid-19th century. Inside, a ground floor room from the 19th century features impressive 17th-century oak wainscotting that was removed from a house in Norfolk.
