Little Long End

The property is a cottage, believed to have originated as a barn. It likely dates from the 17th or early 18th century, and was converted into a cottage around the mid-19th century, with further extensions added in the late 19th or early 20th century. The cottage is timber-framed and weatherboarded, with a plain tile roof featuring half-hipped ends. It has red brick gable end stacks with tiled set-offs, brick cornices, and clay pots.

Originally a 3-bay barn, the layout was reconfigured in the mid-19th century to create a 2-room cottage plan. The rooms are heated by gable end stacks; the smaller room on the left (west) is the kitchen, while the right-hand room serves as the parlour. A straight staircase rises from a front lobby, located to the left of the front doorway, which gives direct access to the parlour. Later 19th or early 20th century additions include a small, unheated outshut at the left end and a larger one at the rear of the left room. A porch with a weatherboarded gabled roof and a 20th-century glazed door are also later additions.

The south front has two windows and is not perfectly symmetrical, with windows slightly offset to the left. The windows are 19th-century, featuring 2-light and 16-pane casements. A single-storey, weatherboarded outshut with a corrugated iron lean-to roof is attached to the left (west) end. The rear elevation features similar 19th-century casements with glazing bars.

The interior appears largely unchanged since the 19th century, featuring plastered ceilings, plank doors, and simple wooden chimneypieces. The left-hand (west) fireplace contains a 20th-century range and a mantel shelf, whereas the right-hand fireplace is blocked in with brickwork. The barn's original tie-beams have been removed from either side of the central bay; the eight wall posts remain, though the arch braces to the missing tie-beams are absent. The clasped side-purlin roof retains flat common rafters halved and pegged at the apex.
