Description

Littlecote Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 18th century. The northern wing was formerly a coach house for Littlecote Manor, while the southern cross wing was added in the 19th century. The late 18th-century wing is constructed of red and vitreous brick with a rendered plinth, featuring a 20th-century tiled roof and a central brick chimney. It has two storeys; the first floor includes three 20th-century leaded casement windows, two of which are paired and one is a three-light window. The ground floor has two large blocked arches on the left with stone imposts and keyblocks; the left arch has a paired barred wooden casement, a board door, and a fanlight. There are two smaller arches to the right with rendered heads and leaded casements, as well as the remains of another blocked arch in between. To the right, there is a board door with a rectangular fanlight and a moulded wooden cornice hood supported by cut brackets. The 19th-century southern wing is pebbledashed, with dentilled brick eaves, a tiled roof, and flanking brick chimneys. This wing also has two storeys and three bays to the south, featuring barred sash windows, with the ground floor windows set in canted bays. The central door is located in a late 19th-century timber gabled porch.
