Little England Farmhouse

Little England Farmhouse is a house of probable origins in the 15th century, with alterations in the 16th century and minor work in the 19th century. It was partially rebuilt around 1970 when the front elevation was redesigned. The house is timber-framed, originally with cob walls which were later replaced with brick and coursed squared lias, and has a double-Roman tile roof and brick stacks.

It started as an open-hall house with a smoke-bay, which was floored over in the 16th century. The present building is single-storey with an attic, and has two bays. The ground floor has two three-light concrete-mullioned windows, while the first floor has two two-light metal casements set within half-dormers with hipped roofs. The central doorway is framed by a concrete architrave in an 18th-century style, leading to a plank door.

The interior ground floor features two fireplaces with broad wooden bressumers, one with a small stone chimney-piece, likely from the 18th century. Exposed ceiling beams with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops are visible, and one ground floor room has a panelled ceiling. The roof is of jointed cruck construction, incorporating some arch-bracing and windbracing, though the roof is a modern addition. Remnants of a timber-framed smoke hood are concealed within the structure.
