Description

Little Standen is a house that was originally three cottages, dating from the 16th century or earlier. The building has been refaced in the early 19th century. The ground floor is constructed of red brick with grey headers set on a stone plinth, while the first floor is weatherboarded. It features a steeply pitched tiled roof with a late 16th-century brick chimney stack. The house is two storeys high and has four windows, which are modern casements, along with a 20th-century weather porch.
