Little Holt

Little Holt is a house located on Cranbrook Road in Goudhurst, dating back to the 16th century, with later cladding and extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building has a timber-framed core, which is clad in red brick on the ground floor and features fish-scale and plain tile hanging on the first floor. It has a plain tiled roof. Originally, it was a four-bay lobby-entry range, but it has since been extended with irregular additional wings.

The left return, which is likely the original entrance front, has two storeys and an attic with a half-hipped roof, two flat-roofed dormers, and a central stack to the right. The first floor features two glazing bar sashes and a central wooden casement. On the ground floor, there are French doors, a sash window, and a door-sized glazing bar sash. There is a two-storey gabled extension projecting at the left end, which has a single glazing bar sash on the first floor and a tripartite window on the ground floor.

The current entrance front is the gable end of the main range, which has two storeys and an attic, a half-hip to the left, and a projecting gable to the center right. The main roof is gabled, with stacks located to the left, center, and right end. The right side features a modillion eaves cornice and a block, which is the rear wing of the main range. The first floor has six glazing bar sashes, with one in the attic to the left and three taller glazing bar sashes on the ground floor, which have gauged heads. There is also a canted bay with glazing bar sashes in the central gabled projection. The entrance door consists of two moulded panels with glazed upper panels, topped by a traceried semicircular fanlight within a Doric porch that has fluted pilasters and a moulded frieze and cornice, although this is a late 20th-century reproduction replacing a Victorian gabled porch.

Inside, the house features 16th-century roll-moulded ceiling joists of good quality reported in the front (garden) range.
