Little Santon Farmhouse

Little Santon Farmhouse is a timber-framed house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century that has been restored and enlarged. The original part of the building has two storeys and three bays visible on the entrance front, with a cross wing located behind. It features a high-pitched tiled roof, with a compound stack of old bricks rising through the ridge and another stack with two conjoined diagonal shafts added at the eastern end. The first floor is tile hung, while the front has plaster and the rear is brick. The house has modern casement windows, and the extension is designed in a similar style and uses similar materials. Inside, there is much exposed framing, and the side purlin roof shows evidence of a smoke bay where the main chimney was inserted. An original blackened plaster partition remains, along with two large stone fireplaces under the main stack and a Tudor arched fireplace on each floor beneath the diagonal shafted stack. The exterior framing is visible, with diagonal brick filling on the eastern return.
