Description

Little Bowlish is a house dating from around 1700, which was refronted around 1800. It features a rendered exterior and a concrete double roman tile roof with coped verges, one of which has a finial. The building has a "T"-plan with a gabled wing positioned at right angles to the center of the facade. It is two stories tall, with the projecting wing displaying a sash window with glazing bars on the front, above a blocked stone mullion window in a plain surround. Each return has one bay with sashes that also have glazing bars. To the left of the facade, there is a door opening with a wooden doorcase topped by a triangular pediment on panelled pilasters, leading to a six-panelled door.
