Little Farmhouse

Little Farmhouse is a small house dating from around the early 17th century, with remodelling occurring around the early 19th century and a later 19th-century extension. The house is timber-framed, partially rebuilt and extended using English bond red brick, with some blue headers. The southwest gable-end is hung with red clay scalloped tiles. It has a brick axial stack (originally a gable-end stack) with a rebuilt shaft, and a small brick lateral stack on the right side of the southeast front.

The original plan was of a two-bay timber-frame cottage, featuring a gable-end fireplace contained within an external stack at the northeast end. The wall framing was largely rebuilt in brick in the early 19th century, and the house was extended by one bay in brick at the northeast end later in the 19th century.

The southeast front is asymmetrical, with a plank door to the left of centre and a three-light casement to the right. There is also a small two-light casement with glazing bars on the right and a small two-light casement under the eaves with diamond panes; all are set within cambered brick arches. The northeast gable-end has a plank door and two small two-light casements, the upper one with leaded panes, also within cambered brick arches. The rear (northwest) elevation has a plank door, a small two-light casement to the left and right, and two small two-light casements to the first floor, again with leaded panes and cambered brick arches. The southwest gable-end is tile-hung.

Inside, the small north room retains visible re-used joists. The central room has a chamfered axial beam with hollow-step stops at one end, and unchamfered joists. There is a large fireplace with a timber bressumer, which is now blocked by a modern tiled fireplace. The south bay contains a small, unheated room with a chamfered axial beam and a winder staircase against the end wall. The attic chambers are ceiled, containing a central tie-beam and collar truss, large exposed clasped purlins with mortices for wind-braces, and visible storey-posts. The wall-framing is largely replaced in brick.
