Description
High Littleton House is a house dating from around 1710, with an early 19th-century service addition and alterations. The north facade features squared, dressed, and coursed stone, while the south front is made of ashlar and the side walls are of irregular coursed rubble. It has freestone dressings, copings, quoins, and a slate roof. The building is three storeys high with a basement and has a five-bay north front, along with a one-storey service addition on the left side. The basement includes keyed oculi on either side of the central door and cross mullioned windows with segmental heads. All three storeys have similar cross mullioned windows with leaded pane glazing, although the top storey windows have straight heads. The central doorway features a moulded architrave and a triple keyed head, framed by a stone doorcase with Ionic pilasters, a pulvinated frieze, and an entablature that develops into a string course. The entrance has an eight-panel, two-leaf door with the top four panels glazed. The building also has chamfered and rusticated quoins, moulded string courses, and a cornice, with a stone balustrade enclosing the basement area that returns to the walls at each end. The double span roof has end stone stacks. The early 19th-century south front includes twelve 6-pane sashes on the ground floor, six-pane sashes on the first floor, and three segmental-headed dormers, along with a central Tuscan Doric porch and a glazed door. Inside, the ground floor right-hand room features a wall with one raised and fielded panel, and there is a staircase from around 1710 with a ramped handrail and thin balusters, which may have been relocated.
