Description

Little Critt is a house that likely dates back to the late medieval period and features a chimneystack that was added in the 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The building is timber-framed, with the front covered in weatherboarding and the side elevation finished with tile hanging. It has a steeply pitched roof with a gablet and a late 16th-century cruciform brick stack. The house is two storeys high and has five windows, with 19th-century casements and two penticed bays on the ground floor. There is also a gabled weather porch. The interior has not been inspected.
