Littlegate, Sunnycroft And Stenthill

Littlegate, Sunnycroft, and Stenthill is a house that has been divided into three cottages. It dates from the early 17th century or earlier and was likely divided into the three cottages in the 18th or 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of pebbledash stone rubble and features a gable-ended roof covered in corrugated asbestos.

The house has an internal stack at the right-hand end with a rebuilt rendered shaft, and a large rendered lateral stack at the rear of the left-hand end. Originally, the layout probably consisted of two or three rooms; the right-hand end room has a gable end stack, while the left-hand end room has a lateral stack at the rear and a projecting two-storey bay or oriel at the front. The central room appears to be unheated, possibly due to its conversion into three cottages.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front facing northwest. The left-hand end of the front projects forward, likely indicating a hall bay or oriel. The windows are mostly small late 19th or 20th-century two and three-light casements, many with glazing bars. There are doorways to the right and left of the centre, each with 20th-century glazed doors; the right-hand doorway (Stenthill) features an early 20th-century gabled porch, while the left-hand doorway (Sunnycroft) has a 20th-century glazed porch. The left-hand cottage also includes a side doorway with a 20th-century glazed door, a 20th-century glazed porch, and small casements. At the rear, there are a few 20th-century casements and a large projecting lateral stack to the right, which has slate weathered set-offs and a tapered shaft heightened in red brick during the 20th century.

The interior of the right-hand ground floor room (Stenthill) was inspected and features a chamfered cross-beam with step stops.
