Description

Little Town is a farmhouse, now used as a second home, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries, including small additions. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, painted white, and features a stone slate roof. It has a single-depth, two-unit plan oriented on a north-south axis, facing west, with a gabled wing at the rear that overlaps the first unit.

The exterior consists of two storeys and four windows. On the ground floor, there is a plain square-headed doorway offset to the left, a square four-pane sash window to the left with margin panes, and two similar but slightly smaller windows to the right. The upper floor has four similar windows. Notable features include prominent wooden gutter brackets and corbelled, stepped chimneys at both gables. A late 20th-century glazed conservatory has been added to the south end. The rear wing contains a chamfered two-light mullioned window at the ground floor on the south side, which is missing its mullion. Its rear wall has a similar window offset to the left on the first floor, along with two staggered one-light stair windows to the right. There is also a recent small addition in the north angle of the wing.

Inside, there is a stone partition wall to the right of the doorway. The former housepart to the left, now with an inserted partition, features two axial beams, while the parlour to the right has one lateral beam. A dog-legged staircase is located off the rear corner of the housepart. The interior has otherwise been altered.
