Little Load Farmhouse

Little Load Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse with late medieval origins, primarily from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is constructed from local lias stone that has been cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings. The building features a thatched roof with stepped coped gables, except for the north wing, which is not coped. There are stone chimney stacks topped with stone baffles. The farmhouse has an 'L' plan and is two storeys high with a three-bay north elevation.

The windows are mostly hollow chamfer mullioned, with labels on the lower ones, which are three-lights; however, the first bay has a four-light window without a label. Between the first and second bays, there is a boarded door in a heavy frame under a timber lintel. The third bay features a gabled projection with casement windows on the north wall and a chamfer mullioned window on the east return wall.

Although the interior has not been seen, it is reported to include a cross passage with stud and plank screens, four-centre arched timber doorways, and an oven within a former bacon curing chamber in the kitchen. The east room is noted to have a plain fireplace, a spiral staircase, and a coved moulding ceiling, along with various beams, some of which are moulded. The roof dates from around 1800.
