Little Mayeston

Little Mayeston is a single-storey building constructed from random local stone rubble, which is heavily encrusted with limewash. It features a slate roof that is rendered on both slopes. The building has large stone chimneys at each gable end, complete with capping, and a smaller later chimney located centrally. Originally, the structure consisted of two cottages, each with two units, and both have two windows facing south towards the vegetable gardens.

To the left, there is a small dairy extension with its door located at the rear. The front (south) elevation of the building includes, from left to right, a fixed light window with four panes, an original sash window that has a three-pane sash above and a six-pane sash below, and two four-pane sash windows. The door of the left cottage is made of three vertical boards, while the door of the right cottage is a replacement boarded door. At the rear, there are iron-sheeted sheds and a small extension.

Inside, the hearth of the right cottage has been modified to accommodate a Rayburn cooker, whereas the hearth of the left cottage remains open and features a brick-lined bread oven, complete with its cast-iron door. The chimney has three large set-backs. The left cottage is open to the roof, and its croglofft is intact, with a removable access ladder and a hatch in the boarded screen.
