Little Place

Little Place is a house that features a long range with two 16th century bays on the right, two 17th century bays in the center, and a late 18th century bay on the left. There have been early 19th century alterations and extensions to the rear. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone, mostly covered with stone slate roofs, while the right bays have a raised front pitch and are slated. There are rubble stone chimneys at the gables and the rear of the center section, along with a brick chimney on the far right. The house is two storeys high with an attic and consists of five bays in total. The 18th and 17th century bays on the left feature old three-light leaded casement windows with wooden lintels, while the center bays have had 20th century repairs. The lower left window has a transom, and there is an additional 20th century canted bay window to the right of the 17th century section, along with 20th century skylights. To the left of the 17th century section is a lobby entry that includes a flush-panelled door, a blind semi-circular tympanum, and an arched 20th century wrought iron porch. The right bays are only two storeys high and have wooden casements with wooden lintels, mostly consisting of two lights with glazing bars, but there is a three-light window on the ground floor to the left. A half-glazed door is located to the right. The rear of the house has gabled dormers in a steep roof pitch, an altered 19th century wing at one end, an 18th or 19th century wing projecting from the other end, and lean-to extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries in between. Inside, there are large fireplaces to the left and rear of the 17th century section, featuring wooden lintels. The 17th century part has stop-chamfered spine beams, with the right bay having joists supported on the fireplace side by a beam on stone corbels. There is a raised cruck truss in the center of the 16th century part.
