Description
The Former Clifton Farmhouse and Clifton Cottage is a building that dates back to the 17th century, consisting of two sections with a significant 19th-century addition. Originally a farmhouse and cottage, it later functioned as a public house and hostel before returning to residential use in the early 21st century. The structure is built from sandstone random rubble with large quoins and has a stone slate roof, while the addition features a Welsh slate roof.
The 17th-century section is L-shaped, comprising an east-west range with a projecting wing at the west end and a small gabled extension at the angle. The exterior has two low storeys and features a symmetrical arrangement of windows, with a central doorway in the gabled portion that has a simple slab cornice. There are two altered rectangular windows on each floor flanking the doorway. To the right, the set-back range has an altered doorway at the right end, four small 20th-century windows at ground level, and two altered windows above. A small chimney is located on the right-hand slope of the gable. The left return wall of the wing has a plain doorway at ground level and two altered or inserted windows above.
The 19th-century additions are two storeys high and designed in a simplified Jacobean style. The east front has three windows and features a 20th-century lean-to porch in the centre. The vertical-rectangular windows have raised surrounds and hood-moulds, with the ground floor windows being sashed without glazing bars and top-hung casements above. The south gable is rendered and has one similar window on each floor, while the north facade mirrors the east front.
Inside, the east wing contains three massive king-post roof trusses with raked struts, indicating that it was once part of a larger, more prestigious building.
