The Little House And Outbuildings

The Little House consists of a 17th and 18th century rubble stone house with ashlar dressings and roofs that are part stone tiled and part double Roman tiled. The south front is arranged in two ranges: an east side range with double Roman tiles, a ridge stack, and a west end stack; and a taller 17th century west range with a stone tiled roof and a large rear wall chimney gable.

The east range features four two-light mullion windows; the ovolo moulding on all but the second window, which has a cyma moulding, suggesting a later insertion. An iron opening light is present in the left end window. The ground floor has a stone doorcase with a hood on brackets, along with two renewed ovolo moulded mullion windows with hoods, a three-light window, a two-light window, and a large 20th century garage opening. The east end wall has ovolo moulded mullion windows with hoods, two-light to the main floors and a single light to the attic.

The west range has two two-light cyma-moulded mullion windows with hoods to the first floor, each containing an iron opening light. Below is a three-light ovolo mullion window under an overall hood. A Bath Sun Fire plaque is visible on the first floor. The west end wall includes two-light ovolo mullion windows with hoods to the upper floors, and a later window with a hood to the ground floor. The rear of this section shows a large chimney gable and two first-floor ovolo windows with hoods.

A parallel rear range, likely dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, has a stone tiled roof and an east end stack. It has flush two-light cyma moulded mullion windows, two to the ground floor—one inscribed "J. Blake 1831"—and a doorcase with a cyma mould. An upper metal casement and a circular window are also present. A two-light mullion window is located at the west end wall, above a ground floor lean-to.

A stone tiled porch is situated in the angle to the right of the doorcase, supported by a heavy square stone pier with a square cap. Attached to the rear north east angle, by a length of wall with a reset moulded doorcase to Cuttle Lane, is an 'L'-plan range of rubble stone outbuildings with stone tiled roofs. Deeds suggest the property dates back to 1608.
