Description

Little Bix Bottom Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, likely built in the late 17th century, with an outshut added around 1741, as indicated by a dated brick on the rear, and a 20th-century addition at the back. The building is constructed of flint with red brick dressings and has an old plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack at the center. It features a two-unit lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a three-window range that is set at right angles to the street. The central entrance has a 20th-century glazed door, topped with a flat hood supported by brackets. There are three-light casements with segmental brick heads on both sides of the door, and a two-light casement in the center of the first floor, flanked by three-light casements. The rear also has two storeys and an attic with a three-window range, featuring casements on both the ground and first floors, and two cross-gables in the attic. Inside, there is an 18th-century staircase that was brought in around 1960, open fireplaces in the center of the ground floor, visible portions of a stud wall on the left side of both the ground and first floors, and a cupboard on the first floor left with 'H' and 'butterfly' hinges.
