Full description

Copeland, G. W., 1944, Thirteenth Report of the Plymouth and District Branch, 97-8 (Article in Serial). SDV148767.

Little Stert, 17th century house. A development of a farmhouse where there is direct communication between the living room and shippon. The passage from front to rear has disappeared, but the rear doorway though blocked, remains - a good roll-moulded four-centred one of granite. The fireplace has been moved but retains its original jambs, with an additional inner pair adapted from a chamfered window frame. The ceiling is of cleft oak, two huge moulded beams and moulded end stopped rafters. The original south window remains. Above is a similar window, but only the stops of the label remain. The wall has been lowered and the eaves of the roof replace the label. In the yard is a roughly circular granite trough.
