Little Falcon has a date-stone marked 1911, which likely indicates a period of repair or alteration. It also has a modern glazed door with side-lights under a timber hood supported by brackets. The ground floor has two modern casement windows, and the first floor features three casement windows with glazing bars. There is a later lean-to extension at the south end, constructed of brick with a tiled roof.
