Description

The Little House is a cottage that was formerly a post office, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and features a slate roof with gabled ends. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a two-window range. The windows are two-light Gothick casements that include glazing bars and fanlights set in concave pointed arch openings. There is a blocked door at the center with a similarly shaped head, and an attic window in the gable end also has a concave pointed head. Rendered chimney stacks are located at the gable ends.

The Little House receives an average of 870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 11 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
