Little Buckland

Little Buckland is a former farmhouse, now a house, believed to date from 1720, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of coursed, squared stone and features a stone slate roof. It has a U-shaped plan with two wings and a central section, each containing two rooms that are one room deep. The structure is two and a half storeys tall.

The garden front is flat and includes a plinth. The entrance door, which is slightly to the right of the center, is half-glazed with four octagonal panes and has a timber lintel above it. To the right of the door is a two-light wooden mullion and transom window with a flat hood and stone voussoirs, alongside a blocked opening with stone voussoirs. To the left of the door, there is a three-light wooden mullion and transom window with a timber lintel, which encroaches on a half-blocked opening to the left, also featuring stone voussoirs. Additionally, there is a three-light mid-20th century metal window with a concrete lintel to the left.

On the first floor, there are three two-light wooden casement windows with iron opening lights, flat heads, and stone voussoirs, along with a two-light mid-20th century metal casement window to the right. The gable ends of the cross wings at each end have parapet gables and cross gablet saddles. The right gable features two-light casements with stone voussoirs, while the left has a three-light mid-20th century metal casement, with voussoirs indicating the location of an original, narrower window. Tall ashlar chimneys rise from the inner base of both gables, and there is a moulded string course and cap. Between the gables, there are two hipped dormers with two-light casements.

On the left return, there are two stone gables, one of which has a chimney on the ridge with a moulded cap. The left end of the garden front has a projecting mid-20th century wing, which features a five-light metal casement window with a concrete lintel on the ground floor and a four-light metal mullion and transom window above, along with a parapet gable.

Inside, the central room on the garden front has chequerboard stone paving and a wide fireplace with a timber lintel. It also contains six-panelled doors with brass latches. The left side features an eared pine fireplace surround with a moulded edge to the shelf, which has been moved from elsewhere in the house, and a small cupboard recess in the wall on the right. The right side has early 19th-century panelled shutters. On the first floor, the left side has an exposed timber post with 'EM / IR / 17.. / RS' painted on it. There are two original boarded doors in the attics, which have collar and tie-beam trusses, one pair of purlins, and no ridge member.
