5/37 Little Wolleigh including the - barn about 50 metres east of 23.8.55 house - GV II
House, probably a former farmhouse. C16 or C17 with later additions, including south-west wing said to have been built in 1935. Cob and stone, covered with C20 roughcast. Wheat reed thatched roof with stack in each gable; large projecting stack with offsets and added shaft at north-east end, pair of rendered brick stacks on south-west. Seems to be basically a 2-room and cross-passage plan with position of main entrance moved to lower end; added room on north-east (next to the road) and a further range of rooms added on north-west side, fronting Ashwell Lane. 2 storeys 4-window front facing south-east; 5 windows in ground storey with modern doorway in fourth bay from right. Windows all have late C19 or early C20 wood casements with transom lights, the lower lights with 2 panes each. Projecting in front of doorway a C16 granite surround brought in from elsewhere; rounded arch with sunk spandrels, deeply cut ogee mouldings with a hollow between them. Interior: the 2 original ground-storey rooms have chamfered ceiling-beams, those in right-hand room with thickened, corbel-like ends. Left-hand room has head-beam of plank-and-muntin screen, suggesting a former cross-passage along the right-hand side of the room. In south-west gable a wide fireplace with C20 lintel; large brick oven to left, with stone opening having a curved top. Right-hand room has re-used late C16 or early C17 oak panelling. Added room to right has wide fireplace, now blocked with plain wood lintel; hearth-stone includes a piece of carved stone with simple zig-zag pattern on the chamfer, brought from elsewhere. Upper storey not inspected; owner says it has been heightened and re-roofed in C19 or later. Garden: includes a former barn fronting A382. Mainly cob on a stone plinth, apparently rebuilt in stone at north-west end. Low corrugated iron roof. This end has a projecting chimneystack, its top taken down, towards the road; there seems to have been a heated room here with upper floor, adjacent to the barn end. Upper floor has chamfered beam end and some heavy joists, all probably re-used. The lintel over the doorway comprises a piece of the head-beam of a plank-and-muntin screen and a piece of old principal rafter. Lintel of barn door consists of part of a chamfered beam with scroll-stop and 2 notches. Roof rebuilt late C19 or C20. Lying loose in garden a late C16 or early C17 granite jamb of doorway or fireplace, ovolo-moulded with vase stop.
