Description
Clamp Cottages is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a pair of cottages. It dates from the mid or late 17th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is two storeys high and features a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. It is constructed with a timber frame and is pebble-dashed. The roof is made of concrete pantiles and has axial chimneys made of red brick, which were recapped in the 19th century with gault brick. The cottages have 20th-century casement windows and each has a glazed 20th-century entrance doorway located in 19th-century rear extensions, with the original entrance now facing the garden. Inside, there are notable principal members, including bridging joists with lambstongue chamfers, although the framing is otherwise concealed. The roof structure is of the side-purlin type.
