Description
Clayhill Cottages are a house, now divided into a pair, dating back to the 16th century. Originally a hall house with a cross-wing, the building is timber-framed, with tile hanging on the exterior, along with sections of red brick and rendered surfaces. The roof is tiled, and the main roof is hipped with a gablet, while the projecting jettied wing has a half-hipped roof. There are stacks (chimneys) to the left, to the rear left, and to the centre right. Dormers, which are flat-roofed, are visible, and there's a three-light casement window in the cross-wing’s garret (attic). Four three-light leaded casement windows are on the first floor, and four irregular casements, some wooden and some metal, are on the ground floor. There are boarded doors to the left, in the centre, and a central right door with a gabled hood covering it. The cross-wing is a significant structure in itself, extending to the left return with a large hipped roof. The building was once used as a village workhouse.
