Description

Little Lyon Mead is a house that likely dates from the early 19th century and has been altered since 1970. It features roughcast exterior, probably over limestone rubble, resting on a rubblestone plinth. The gabled slate roof has a brick stack at the right end. The house has a double-depth plan with the door and hall moved to the left side. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range, with all windows being 6/6-pane sashes. The left-hand range is set back and has a semi-circular arch over a recessed 20th-century door. The interior has not been inspected. The house is included for its group value.
