Little Frampton Farmhouse

Little Frampton Farmhouse is a farmhouse of early 17th-century origins, with later alterations. The front elevation is stuccoed over local limestone rubble, while the rear elevation is cement rendered, and one wing is painted stone. The roof is covered in Welsh slate, with a brick centre stack and a stone stack at the former north end, where an outbuilding wing was once connected. Modern 2-light casement windows, with 6 + 6 small panes, are spaced along the front elevation, with a window above and below on the south end, followed by a ground-floor window, a ground and first-floor window, and then a stopped and chamfered 4-centred doorway supported by a brick buttress. A modern glazed door with a window above follows, alongside other windows and a porch with a small window set to the right, a 3-light ground floor window, a tall stack on the verge, and finally a two-pane window linked to the outbuilding wing, though this was not visible during a resurvey in May 2003.

The north gable end is of whitewashed stone rubble, with a ventilator slit in the gable and a boarded door leading to stables. The west elevation of the main house has three small ground-floor windows, the centre one being a 2 x 2 pane casement, with a slight set-back in the wall to the right. A west rear cross-wing incorporates a granary above a cart shed. The north elevation of the cross-wing features a segmentally arched ground-floor entry with voussoirs, while its west gable end has a flight of stone steps with red tile treads and a stone balustrade, leading to a boarded door.

The interior was not accessible at the time of the latest resurvey. However, a previous description from 1982 detailed the south end of the house as being of early 17th-century appearance. This includes a south ground-floor room with four massive, centre two boxed, beams, originally featuring a doorway at the south end and a blocked fireplace at the north end, alongside a stopped and chamfered 4-centred stone doorway leading to a stone staircase. Further north is a ground-floor room with ceiling beams with broad chamfers. These features are corroborated by the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales (RCAHMW). The roof trusses exhibit notched lap-jointed collars and two tiers of purlins.
