Hampton House

Hampton House is a house located in Brighthampton, built in the late 16th or early 17th century. It features a timber frame set on a limestone rubble plinth, with some areas rendered, later limestone rubble walling, and late 19th-century brick walling. The front of the first floor is clad in 20th-century matchboarding. The house has a gabled roof covered with concrete tiles, topped with a stone ridge stack that has a moulded drip course and two rendered flues. The layout consists of three units and the building has two storeys with five bays of framing. The windows include a 20th-century door and casements, along with a late 18th-century six-pane sash window on the left.

Inside, the house features stop-chamfered beams throughout. The original winder stairs are located in front of the stack, accompanied by a stop-chamfered door frame leading to a first-floor room on the left. The first floor includes a 17th-century plank door with butterfly hinges and an original plank and stud partition to the right. The structure has heavy jowled posts with mortices for braces, and a smoke-blackened collar-truss roof supported by butt purlins and arched windbraces.
