Description
The Little House is a detached house built in the early 19th century. It features a front made of ashlar Doulting stone, with rubble stone and double-Roman clay tiles on the roof. The gables have bargeboards, and the ends of the purlins are exposed. There is a catslide roof on the rear wing and two end chimney stacks made of ashlar stone. The house has a two-storey 'T'-shaped plan with a three-window front and a central entrance. The windows are 16-pane sash windows with vertical central and marginal glazing bars, and they have stone sprocketted cills. The central window on the first floor has two round-headed lights with casement windows featuring horizontal glazing bars. The entrance door is a six-fielded and moulded panel door, with the top two panels now glazed. The boundary wall is made of brick in Flemish bond, topped with stone coping, and there are ashlar stone piers at both ends and at the central wooden gate. The gate piers have hollow chamfered and pyramidal caps, while the end piers have half-round, hipped caps.
