Little Westcombe faces south parallel to the road with its long axis down the slope. Built of shaly rubble masonry with earth mortar, now roughcast. Three room cross passage plan with projecting side chimney in the centre. The interior has been gutted but there are traces suggesting that the lower room was used as a shippon. However, there are also indications that this room was added. Possibly a longhouse. The house has been divided into cottages but now united as one.
