Clunton Farmhouse

Clunton Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, later adapted as a house, located in Clunbury. The original core of the building is timber-framed with a rubblestone plinth, and features an addition to the left built in the 18th century using uncoursed limestone rubble. The roof is slate. Originally comprising four framed bays, the house has a stack positioned in the wide second bay from the left, and a front entrance creating a baffle entry. A left bay was added in the 18th century, and a stack was removed in the late 20th century. The house is one storey high with an attic. The front has 20th-century casement windows, with three to the left and two to the right of a contemporary gabled porch, and two late 20th-century gabled eaves dormers. The rear gable is timber-framed and covered with roughcast. A large stepped rubblestone stack with a painted brick top is located at the rear, marking the junction between the 17th and 18th-century sections. Inside, the ground-floor rooms feature chamfered spine beams; those in the room to the right have straight-cut stops and exposed joists. The roof is a single-purlin structure in five bays, containing a mixture of queen-strut trusses (some with V-struts from collars) and raking struts from tie beams to principal rafters.
