Description
Little Kington Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse built from coursed, squared rubble with tiled gable-ended roofs. It features brick stacks at the gables and to the right of the door. The building is L-shaped and has a west-facing facade that is two storeys high with a four-window range. The outer bays contain four-light stone-mullioned windows with returned labels, while the window to the right of the door is a similar design. The upper floor has three-light casement windows with horizontal glazing bars. The entrance includes a four-panelled part-glazed door topped by a decayed iron tent-porch. To the right of the front door, there is a small bulls-eye window set in an ashlar surround. The remaining windows are mainly casements with horizontal glazing bars.
