Clare Priory Farmhouse

Clare Priory Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the mid to late 16th century, with extensions from the early 19th century and around 1965. The building features a render over a timber frame and has a hipped thatch roof with gablets, as well as gabled roofs on small extensions and brick ridge stacks. Originally a one-unit plan from the 16th century, it was extended by a small rear right wing in the early 19th century and further extended to the left and right around 1965. The north elevation has two storeys and a four-window range, which includes four 19th-century three-light casements with iron opening lights on the right (west) and similar mid-20th-century casements on the left. The rear (south) also has similar mid-20th-century casements. The early 19th-century one-storey extension at the rear right was extended to the right (west) by a small extension from around 1965. Inside, there are chamfered ground-floor beams with cusped stops and stop-chamfered jowled posts supporting a three-bay coupled-rafter roof. The early 19th-century extension, built from reused timbers, features a dog-leg staircase with winders leading to the landing.
