Description

Little Greenslade is a small house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 19th and 20th-century additions. It features rendered cob walls and a gable-ended thatched roof, supported by brick stacks at the gable ends. The house has a two-room layout, with each room heated by a fireplace at the gable ends. The larger room on the left includes a newel staircase located at the rear of the fireplace. A 19th-century outshut was added behind the left-hand room, and a 20th-century addition was constructed to the right.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front, including two windows on the ground floor. The ground floor windows are 20th-century two and three-light casements set in larger openings. There is a lean-to thatched porch to the left of centre, featuring a 20th-century stable-type door. The rear wall has 19th and 20th-century additions.

Inside, the left-hand room has chamfered cross beams, with traces of hollow step stops on one beam. The fireplace has a roughly chamfered wooden lintel. The stone newel stairs beside the fireplace have been slightly altered to open out of the room towards the rear. The roof trusses are very rough, with collars pegged across their face, likely dating from the 18th or early 19th century.
