Clippings Green Farmhouse

Clippings Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with extensions added in the mid to late 17th century and a refacing that likely occurred in the 18th or 19th century. The building features a timber frame faced in Flemish bond red brick, with English bond brick at the east end. It has a pantile roof with coped gable ends and exposed shaped rafter ends, along with a rendered brick axial stack and brick gable end stacks.

The farmhouse has an overall four-room plan. The two central rooms, the hall on the left and the parlour on the right, are heated by back-to-back fireplaces in a central axial stack. The service room on the left now has a gable end stack, and the right-hand room was added in the 17th century, possibly when the axial passage was formed at the back of the parlour.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic and features an asymmetrical four-window range. The 19th and 20th-century windows include three- and four-light casements with glazing bars; those on the ground floor are set in segmental brick arched openings, while the first-floor windows under the eaves are smaller. There is a 20th-century French casement to the left of centre. The east gable end has four unmoulded brick mullion two-light windows with hoodmoulds. At the rear, there are various small casements, a small brick two-light window on the left, and a 20th-century flat roof extension on the right. The west end features brick tumbling in the gable and a later single-storey outbuilding.

Inside, the hall has an elaborately moulded axial beam and bressummer above a large brick fireplace with a herringbone brick back. The parlour fireplace features a moulded and brattished bressummer, along with chamfered axial ceiling beams and a cross-beam with elaborate stops. There is a moulded three-plank door leading to the right-hand room, which has an exposed stud partition. The small room at the west end includes a chamfered axial beam, exposed joists, and a fireplace with a timber lintel. The roof over the 17th-century addition is exposed in the chamber, showcasing principals with a large chamfered collar, exposed common rafters, wall-plate, and joists set on the collar. The roof over the original part is said to be an 18th or early 19th-century butt-purlin replacement structure.
