Little Gains Cottage

Little Gains Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century or earlier. It has a timber-framed structure with the ground floor finished in painted brick and exposed principal posts. The first floor features exposed framing with painted brick infilling. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a steeply-pitched hipped design. The facade is divided into five timber-framed bays by principal posts, including a short second bay from the right. The cottage has one and a half low storeys, with broadly-spaced close studding on the first floor. There is a multiflue brick stack located to the left of the center. The building includes two very small two-light eaves dormers, one on each side of the stack, and a very small two-light casement window to the right of the right dormer, with no windows on the right end. The left end of the ground floor has two three-light casements, along with one in the short bay. A boarded door is situated under the stack, and there is a stable door in a small porch at the right gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
