Description

Little Cutstraw House is an early 19th-century single-storey cottage featuring six bays. It has a pair of later canted dormers with piend roofs on the left side and is situated on sloping ground overlooking the road. The exterior is made of white-painted rubble with contrasting painted margins. There is also a later small single-storey extension and a conservatory at the rear.

The cottage predominantly has eight-pane or small-pane timber sash and case windows, with four-pane windows in the dormers. The roof is covered with grey slates, and it has raised skews along with ridge and single gablehead stacks.

The interior, as seen in 2008, has been largely altered and includes non-working panelled timber shutters.
