Clover Cottage

Clover Cottage is a house that has been divided into two cottages, dating from the 16th century, with possibly older fragments. It is one storey high with attics and has a two-cell form. The building is timber-framed and encased in red brick, which is rendered and whitewashed on the front. The roof is covered with pantiles. At the rear, there is an early 19th-century lean-to that is entirely made of brick.

Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with a large square plain shaft made of small Tudor red bricks. The front of the cottage features two three-light casement windows, one with a single bar to the lights and the other with square-leaded panes and pintle hinges. In the south end of the rear lean-to, there are two reused two-light casement windows with diamond-leaded panes and pintle hinges. The entrance has a plank door.

The ground-floor room in No.1 has a heavily-timbered ceiling, with a main beam that has a chamfer and scroll stops, and wide joists that are set flat, chamfered, and closely spaced. The rear wall of this room appears to be doubled and has housings for a diamond-mullioned window in the outer part. On the upper storey, the tie-beam at the south gable end is positioned just within the gable wall, suggesting that the house may have originally extended further south. Additionally, the slope of a rafter at right angles to the front range may indicate a former cross-wing. It is noted that No.2, located to the north, does not have any exposed timbers inside.
