Description
Little House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, which was remodeled in the mid-19th century for the Pipewell Hall estate. It is constructed of regularly coursed limestone and has a concrete tile roof. The building originally had a two-unit plan and is two stories high. It features a three-window range with 19th-century diamond panes and cast iron glazing bars, all set under wooden lintels. There is a canted 20th-century door also under a wooden lintel, and a brick stack at one end. At the rear, there is a 19th-century lean-to. Although the interior has not been inspected, it may still contain remnants of an open fireplace. Little House is part of a group of houses that were upgraded by the Pipewell Hall estate in the early 19th century, and it is included in the listing for its group value.
