Description
Little Dolby is a 16th century or earlier open hall house located on Ifield Road. The building is two storeys high and features a timber frame with painted red brick infilling. Some curved braces are visible. It has a hipped tiled roof with a gablet at each end and four casement windows. There is a modern gabled weather porch at the entrance.
Inside, the house contains a crown post supported by three braces, and the rafters are smoke blackened, particularly above the inserted smoke bay. Some nails for the plaster smoke hood remain, and the original wattle and daub partition walls are still intact. The hall has been opened up to the roof again.
