Description

Little Hill Farmhouse is a farmhouse from the mid-18th century that has been altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone and features a hipped plain-tile roof with brick ridge and lateral stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, arranged in a five-window range. It follows a two-unit central staircase plan. The central entrance consists of a plank door with a wood lintel and a gabled hood supported by brackets. The ground and first floors have cross windows with ironstone lintels. Notable architectural details include chamfered ironstone quoins, an ironstone storey band, moulded brick eaves, and a central hipped roof dormer. To the left, there is a single-storey, one-window extension with a lean-to roof. The interior features spine beams and a dog-leg stair with stack balusters.
