Description
Little Charity is a former hall-house, now a house, dating from the early 15th century, with 18th-century cladding and 20th-century extensions. The building features a timber front on a red brick plinth, with weatherboarded cladding and tile-hanging on the first floor to the west. It has plain tiled hipped roofs and a hall-house plan, standing at 1½ storeys. There is a ridge stack to the right and gabled semi-dormers to the left and on the south end. The front has an irregular arrangement of two windows with casements. To the right, there is a boarded door with a gabled hood supported by curved brackets. To the left, there is a 1½ storey extension with two gabled dormers and a boarded door. A gabled porch is located to the right at the south, flanked by a low gabled extension. Inside, heavy framing is visible, along with an inserted brick stack that has a replaced wooden bressummer and heavily jowled posts. The roof features a uniform scantling with collars and smoke-blackening.
