Description
Little Testwood House is a building that dates back to the 15th century but mainly reflects early 18th-century architecture, with some 20th-century extensions. The walls are made of painted brickwork in Flemish bond, featuring cambered arches with stone keys, stone cills, and stone coping to the parapet topped with ball finials. The roof is slate.
The symmetrical west front showcases a half-hexagonal projecting center that rises three storeys and has a window arrangement of 2-3-2. The middle face of this center is elevated as a gable, which includes an arched recess. The windows are sash style, with several featuring thick window bars, while the ground floor windows in the center are of a later style and set within reeded architraves.
On the south side, there is a 20th-century two-storey wing with a tile roof, tile-hung first floor, and a brick ground floor, which includes sash windows and the current entrance. At the rear, there is a mid-19th-century wing. Part of the rear of the main block displays brickwork in English bond, and one ground floor room features a wall of timber-framing.
