Clark'S Farmhouse

Clark's Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and roughcast rendered, topped with a roof of handmade red plain tiles. The house has five bays facing southwest and features two axial stacks. At the rear, near the left end, there is an 18th-century dairy wing and a single-storey lean-to extension to the left of it. A crosswing with a near-central stack was added around 1919, along with a contemporary flat-roofed single-storey corridor extension along the back of the main range.

The building has two storeys with an original attic. On the ground floor, there are three 20th-century casements, an early 20th-century square bay attached to the right side of the porch, and 20th-century French windows. The first floor has four 20th-century casements, with two more in hipped dormers and one in the gable of the crosswing. A 20th-century half-glazed door is located in the gabled porch.

Architectural details include jowled posts, heavy studding, and chamfered binding and bridging beams with lamb's tongue stops, some featuring an additional notch. The joists are plastered to the soffits. Above the first floor, there are chamfered straight tiebeams and bridging beams with lamb's tongue-plus-notch stops. The storey heights are approximately 2.30 metres on the ground floor and 2.40 metres on the first floor. The original straight staircase has a chamfered newel post with lamb's tongue stops, and serpentine flat balusters with a moulded handrail leading up to the attic.

It is noted that the right end of the main range was reportedly damaged by fire in 1919, after which the crosswing was constructed.
