Description
Little Horsecroft Cottage is a house built in 1840, with a core dating back to the 17th century. It stands at 1½ storeys with attics and features two windows. The cottage is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a plaintiled roof. It has a fascia with a cusped soffit and overhanging verges adorned with moulded bargeboards. A central 19th-century chimney made of reed brick is decorated with diaper-patterned tiles at the base and has four octagonal shafts with moulded bases and caps. The windows are 20th-century casements set in 19th-century hoodmoulded openings. A prominent feature is the two-storey gabled plaintiled porch, which has moulded bargeboards and a spike finial, along with a boarded and battened entrance door and a hoodmould above it.
