A Lutyens cottage: Little Leat
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 3 Nov 2010
This cottage stands just a short distance to the south of Tigbourne Court, an important early Lutyens house http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2130908 and may have been intended as staff accommodation. The house and cottage have a number of features in common: both are built of the local Bargate stone, with galleted mortar courses, while the oval window to the right of the cottage front door echoes a feature of the larger house http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2204583. Perhaps it is just the scale of the building, but (to me, at least) Little Leat seems a bit prim, contrasting with Tigbourne Court's ruggedness. Little Leat is Grade II listed: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-438335-little-leat-hambledon
