Description
Littleholme is a house built in 1909 by Charles Voysey for Arthur Simpson, a local craftsman known for handmade furniture. The building features snecked, rough-dressed blocks with quoins and has a hipped roof with a pitch of approximately 45 degrees, which flattens at the projecting eaves. A stone chimney is located in the middle of the roof.
The entrance includes a curved semicircular arch with a plank door and a window set in antis, all beneath a large lead canopy supported by curved braces. To the right of the entrance, there is a 2-light window. On the first floor, there is a similar window to the left and a larger 5-light window to the right, which alternates between small and large lights. A large stair window, consisting of three sets of three lights, is located on the west return. The windows are square-leaded and set in stone surrounds with flat stone mullions, and the stair window also includes transoms.
Although the interior was not inspected, a late 20th-century sale prospectus shows that it features high-quality fittings, including an inglenook fireplace, fitted cupboards, and oak plank doors.
