Description
Littlebank Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1693, with alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared rubble with stone dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building has a lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high with three bays.
The gabled entrance porch has a left-hand entrance with a moulded surround and a decorated lintel inscribed with "A R W." The entrance features a four-panel door, with the upper two panels glazed. To the right on the ground floor, there is a two-light cavetto mullioned window with a hoodmould. The gable displays a stepped three-light mullioned window with round heads and a transom for the central light, topped with a segmental arched hoodmould.
The left-hand bay includes a five-light chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould on the ground floor and an early 18th-century window with a moulded surround on the upper floor. The right-hand bay features a conservatory and entrance added around 1900, with an early 18th-century window with a moulded surround on the upper floor. The 18th-century windows have sashes with glazing bars, while the remaining windows have metal casements and fixed lights.
The building has left-hand gable and right-of-centre ridge stacks. Inside, the front left-hand room is reputed to contain a blocked inglenook fireplace and a beehive oven.
