Lampitts

Lampitts is a house dating from the 15th century, with later alterations and additions. It features a timber-framed structure that is rendered and partly cased in painted brick, topped with a thatched roof and red brick stacks. Originally an open hall, the building is now two storeys throughout. It has a two-bay hall with a former service bay to the left and a partly reconstructed bay to the right that may replace a former cross wing.

The entrance consists of a board door set in a 20th-century gabled timber porch, flanked by three-light 20th-century casements. To the left, there is a three-light cross casement with leaded lights, likely from the early 18th century, along with another board door to the right. A Phoenix fire insurance plaque is positioned above the door. The first floor has three small 20th-century windows and one six-pane sash window in a flush architrave. The roof is half-hipped on the left side, with ridge stacks that are off-centre and located at the right end.

To the right, there is a single-storey brick addition under a pantile roof, which is not of special interest. The rear of the house mainly features 20th-century casements, with one probable 18th-century casement on the right. The end bay and gable end to the left are cased in brick.

Inside, the service end retains a studded partition wall. The hall has an inserted ceiling with tongue-stopped chamfered beams and exposed joists. The end room to the right has a raised ceiling. On the first floor, the end room to the left has studded walls and a long shutter groove in the wall plate below the half-hip. A large stack has been inserted against the hall's principal truss. The building features jowled posts with large arch braces that form a pointed arch beneath a steeply cambered tie beam, supporting a square-section crown post. The hall's studded walls and shutter grooves are visible on the front and rear wall plates. The right end shows alterations from the original layout. The hall roof has smoke-blackened crown posts that are braced to the purlin only, with original thatching rods and a triangular smoke outlet that is now blocked. The right end roof has slightly blackened rafters with clasped purlins, and a crown post and truncated purlin are visible in the partition wall between the hall and the right end section, indicating a change of plan at this point.
