Description
Little Southernden Farmhouse is a timber-framed building dating to the 15th century, with later alterations and an 19th-century facade. The ground floor is constructed of chequered red and grey brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the first floor is tile-hung. The roof is covered in plain tiles and is half-hipped. The farmhouse has four timber-framed bays, sitting on a stone plinth. It features a multiple brick ridge stack to the right of the centre and a gable end stack to the right. The window arrangement is irregular, with three casement windows: two 2-light and one 3-light. A 20th-century ribbed door is located slightly left of the ridge stack. The interior was only partly inspected. A moulded beam is visible at the left end of the hall. A blocked inglenook fireplace and 19th-century joists in the right-end room have also been noted.
