Description
Little Mynthurst Farm House is a house that has been extended with converted barns. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and features 20th-century alterations and infillings that connect it to the barns. The structure is timber framed, set on a brick plinth, with colourwashed brick infilling. The left of the centre has colourwashed brick, while the framed barn to the left has colourwashed plaster infill. The front range is timber framed on a brick plinth and has weatherboard cladding. The roofs are plain tiled from the 20th century, with old Horsham slabs at the eaves and halfway up on the right, and a Horsham slab roof with gablets at right angles to the centre.
The original farmhouse has been enlarged and is now linked to the former farm buildings on the west, creating three sides of a courtyard that is open to the south. The west wing is much shorter than the east wing, which has the farmhouse at its southern end. The building is two storeys high, featuring a 17th-century multiple stack on the ridge to the right, which has a corbelled top, and smaller square 20th-century stacks to the left of centre. The right side has three framed bays with two leaded windows on the first floor, one window in the centre, and one through-eaves dormer to the left. There are two windows in the ground floor outer bays. A hipped break to the left (now at the centre) has three first-floor windows and two ground-floor windows, with a door to the right on the ground floor.
To the left is a link range that includes one four-light window and one through-eaves dormer window on the first floor, along with two windows on the ground floor. A five-bay barn is located to the left at right angles, forming the northern range, featuring a large leaded mullioned and transomed window in the centre bay and another window on the ground floor to the left, with a ribbed door to the right. The barn forming the west wing, which is at right angles, is not of special interest. The rear elevation is long, with roofs of varying heights and irregular leaded casement windows. It also displays arched bracing and jowled posts in the cross-roofed range.
