Description

Little Pill is a house built around 1840, constructed from colourwashed rendered rubble with a slate roof. It features gable end brick stacks and lion heads on the guttering. The house has a symmetrical central staircase plan and stands two storeys high, with a basement floor at the left end. The front has a three-window range of sashes, with eight over eight panes above two similar sashes that flank a round-arched doorway. This doorway includes a half-glazed panelled door and a fanlight. There are old plank doors leading to the basement at the left gable end. Each gable end has pointed arched window openings with sashes.
