Description
Clarke's Hays is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the 17th century and remodelled externally in the mid-20th century. It features roughcast timber framing with some brick rebuilding and has a plain tile roof with brick ridge stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a baffle-entry main range and a rear wing. It is two storeys high with a gable-lit attic and has three 18th-century casement windows, along with two 20th-century ground floor canted bay windows that have hipped roofs. The door is located to the right of the centre. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace and ovolo-moulded ceiling beams, as well as exposed square panel timber framing. A 19th-century staircase in a Jacobean style leads to the upstairs, where timber framed partitions of slight scantling can be found.
