Description
East Little Town is a farmhouse with an attached outbuilding, likely built in the late 17th century and altered over time. It features roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and a slate roof. The building has a single-depth, two-unit plan oriented on an east-west axis, positioned back from the road and facing south.
The exterior consists of two low storeys with four windows. The ground floor includes a central added lean-to porch that shelters an old double-layered studded oak door, which is framed by a pegged oak doorcase and fitted with strap hinges, a pull-handle, and a large wooden lock on the inside. To the left of the door are two oblong fixed windows with six and eight panes respectively, while to the right is an enlarged oblong window. On the first floor, there are three windows, now fitted with top-hung casements, and a small square window between the second and third windows, which has been converted into a tilting casement. The left gable features stone coping and a broad square chimney that extends approximately one metre into the roof, differing from the local practice of corbelled chimneys. The right gable has a corbelled chimney, which is enclosed by the added outbuilding. At the rear, there are two small widely separated one-light windows on the ground floor, a blocked stair-window in the centre, and a wide stone slate course above on the upper floor.
Inside, there is a lateral stone partition wall to the right of the doorway, with an inserted partition to the left under a chamfered beam. The joists on either side of this area are scored, and similar joists are found in the parlour to the right. There is a short quarter-turn stone staircase located off the rear corner of the housepart, which now serves as the entrance hall.
