Description
Little Golford is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 16th century. It features a timber-framed structure that is tile-hung, with painted weatherboarding on the ground floor sides. The roof is half hipped and covered with plain tiles, and there is a tall stack located off-centre to the right. The building has two storeys, with an irregular arrangement of three windows on the first floor and two wood-framed lattice casement windows on the ground floor. The central entrance has a panelled door set within an architrave surround, topped by flat hoods supported on brackets. At the rear, there is an 18th-century outshut along with 20th-century extensions. Inside, the farmhouse retains a substantial timber frame with heavy jowls on the posts and features a central brick stack with a wooden bressummer.
