Little Lopthorne

Little Lopthorne is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the mid to later 17th century, with 20th-century additions and alterations. The building features rendered cob and stone rubble walls, a thatched roof that is gabled at the left end and hipped on the right, while the roof of the rear addition is tiled. There are two rendered brick stacks, one axial and one at the gable end. The plan consists of a two-room layout, with the larger room on the right, which may have originally included a central through-passage. Both rooms are heated, although the left-hand stack may have been added later.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical six-window front. The older part on the left is three windows wide and has 20th-century three-light casements. There is a central 20th-century gabled porch with a plank door. The taller 20th-century addition on the right features two-light casements and a glazed door to the left, along with two single-light casements where the two sections of the house meet.

Inside, the fireplace in the right-hand room has a chamfered and hollow step-stopped wooden lintel. The ceiling beams are closely spaced, insubstantial, and roughly chamfered with run-out stops.
