Description
Little Pelham is a house, formerly a schoolmaster's house, built around 1825 by William Allen, a Quaker and social reformer. It is one of the few remaining buildings from Allen's social experiment, alongside Nos. 1-6 Pelham Place Cottages. The house is stuccoed and features a hipped slate roof. It has two storeys and two windows, with 12-paned sash windows on the first floor that include jalousies. The ground floor window is also 12-paned and has rectangular fanlights above it. The simple doorcase on the right side has a four-panelled door and is topped with a tented canopy supported by cast iron pillars. At each end of the house, there are sections of curved walling made in rat trap bond, which ramp up at the ends and have moulded brick coping. These walls terminate in square sandstone piers with stone caps.
