Description
Clarendon Cottage is a 16th-century timber-framed hall house, originally comprising two bays, with a 17th-century extension added to the north end. It is now two storeys and has a four-window front. An 18th-century extension was added to the rear, featuring panelled rooms. The central and north bays were likely re-fronted in brick during the late 17th century, and the front is finished with a stuccoed parapet. The roof is covered in red pantiles and features a large central stack with diagonal shafts. The windows are 18th-century sash windows, with those on the ground floor having external shutters. The front door consists of six fielded panels with a glazed top panel, set within a raised stucco surround featuring a Gothic raised border and a breakfront cornice. A two-storey extension to the left has a similar door in a plain doorcase. A wooden plaque affixed to the first floor states, "Charles and Mary Lamb lived here in 1825 and 1827." The building forms a group with numbers 1 to 33 (odd), associated walls and railings, and The Coach House.
