Description

The Little House is a house constructed from coursed limestone rubble with a stuccoed front, dating from the 18th century. It features an artificial slate roof with brick stacks at both ends and one on the gable of the right return facade. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a three-window range. The first floor has three 6/6-pane sash windows set in moulded architraves, while the ground floor has two 19th-century plate glass sashes in moulded architraves, along with a six-panel door that has the top two panels glazed, also in a similar architrave, located to the left. There are two gabled dormers with 2-light timber casements and moulded timber cornices. The cellar entrance is situated in a high plinth. The house has an unmoulded string course over the ground floor and a moulded timber eaves cornice. The right return facade displays scattered fenestration under timber lintels, including an early 18th-century two-light leaded window at the center. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted by Pevsner to contain an oak staircase with turned balusters, beams with decorated chamfers, and a late 19th-century fireplace inserted by S Gambier Parry.
