Little Iddens

Little Iddens is a small house dating from the 17th century, with 18th century and minor 19th century alterations. It features brick-nogged timber framing on a stone plinth, with a painted English garden wall bond brick extension and a tiled roof. The house is three bays wide, one room deep, and two stories tall, with a single-storey extension.

The garden front has a rebuilt brick gable on the right, with the ground floor framing covered by boards. To the left, there is an external lateral brick chimney that is tiled and offset. A two-light casement window with an iron opening light is located to the left, above which is a weatherboard. A trellis porch with a lean-to metal roof covers a boarded door that has two glass panes and is accessed by one stone step. To the left of the porch, there is a three-light casement window with an iron opening light and a weatherboard above.

The extension beyond features a two-light casement window with an iron opening light and a cambered brick arch on the right, along with a two-light late 20th century casement window on the left, which has replaced a door. The gable chimney is also present. On the first floor, there is a two-light casement window with an iron opening light on the right, a late 20th century two-light casement window to the left of the chimney, and a three-light casement window on the left, which also has an iron opening light. Some studs at the left end are painted on the brickwork, and there is an external gable chimney on the left. Originally, the house had three panels high, but the eaves were later raised.

Little Iddens was the home of Robert Frost from 1914 to 1915, who was one of the Dymock poets associated with L. Abercrombie, R. Brooke, W. Gibson, and E. Thomas.
