Little Antron

Little Antron is an 18th-century farmhouse with a probable former service wing, barn and stables, later converted to a house. An extension was added in the early to mid-19th century. The building is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings, and has an asbestos slate roof which sweeps low at the rear, covering an integral outshut to the original house. Granite rubble stacks rise from the original gable ends, and there are cast-iron gutters. The original house likely had two rooms at the front, flanking a cross passage which leads to the stair, with two shallow rear service rooms. The 19th-century addition was built in two phases. The first phase may have been a single-room cottage, which was later extended to the left, probably as stables with a loft above. The south front of the original house is symmetrical with two windows, featuring a central doorway with a 20th-century panel door and old 4-pane 2-light casement windows. The 19th-century addition has a slightly irregular three-window front, including a flat-arched doorway with a projecting keystone, a first-floor loading doorway, and old 16-pane 2-light sash windows. A 20th-century conservatory is located in the middle of the ground floor. The interior was not inspected.
