Shop Farmhouse

This is a late 17th-century farmhouse located on the west side of Clopton Shop Road. It is timber-framed with a pantile roof and colourwashed render. The farmhouse has a two-cell plan. The front of the building has three bays, with a projecting 20th-century porch containing a plank door and a 2-light window. There are two 2-light windows on either side of the porch. Above are three 2-light windows to the first floor. To the right is a single-storey addition with a 2-light window, recessed from the main facade. A further addition is set back on the left, flush with the front, incorporating brick and flint walling. The left-hand gable end features a 2-light window with brick quoins at ground floor level and a brick chimney stack with offsets. The right-hand gable has a battered chimney stack. A large two-storey 20th-century addition is on the rear left side, with a flat roof, and a 2-light casement window to the right.

Inside, one ground floor room contains a chamfered ceiling beam, a wall plate with stepped stops, and the remains of a blocked window with four chamfered mullions. Another ground floor room has a ceiling beam with a bar and stepped lamb's tongue end stops raised on jowled wall posts. The walls are characterised by heavy close studding. On the first floor, there are chamfered ceiling beams, jowled wall posts, and mortice holes, indicating the former presence of arched braces.
