Little Berrydown, originally known as Moorhurst was built for a member of the Rowe family and remained part of Berrydown Farm for many years. Rented out from the early 20th century but burnt down in 1939. Shell was used as a barn on the farm for many years until it was sold in 1977 and the modern house was built. At this time it was named Little Berrydown Farm, which caused confusion and when it was sold in 1981, the name was simplified to just 'Little Berrydown'.
Ordnance Survey, 2015, MasterMap (Cartographic). SDV357601.
The modern map shows the late 1970s house built on the site of the original cottage.
