Claypit Hall Farmhouse

Claypit Hall Farmhouse is a house that dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed and plastered, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The original 16th-century hall range is aligned approximately north-south and consists of two bays, with an entrance and stair hall to the south. There is a four-bay crosswing to the south, featuring a central stack and dating from the early 17th century, which creates a lobby-entrance house in an L-plan layout. An early 17th-century stair tower is located in the left rear angle. An 18th-century extension is attached to the left of the rear bay of the hall range, and there is a single-storey 19th-century extension with a slate roof at the rear.

The front range has two storeys and attics, while the hall range also has two storeys. On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century sash windows with 16 lights each. The first floor features two similar sash windows and one with 12 lights. The central entrance has a six-panel door set in a moulded doorcase, topped with a shallow hood supported by scrolled brackets, dating from the early 19th century. The front range is topped with a gambrel roof that is half-hipped at both ends. The right return wall includes two 17th or 18th-century three-light windows, each with wrought iron casements and early glass, as well as two 19th-century horizontally sliding sash windows with 12 lights. The rear elevation features an 18th-century two-light window with one wrought iron casement.

Inside the hall range, there is a chamfered axial beam with plain square-section joists supported on pegged clamps, along with a rebuilt roof. The front range has chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops on both the ground and first floors. The stair tower contains an original octagonal newel post that ends in a square knob.
