Old Clingre Farmhouse

Old Clingre Farmhouse is a dwelling that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of marlstone rubble and has a concrete tile roof. The building is L-shaped with a small modern extension at the northeast corner. The principal front faces away from Clingre Lane and features a central ridge stack. It is two storeys tall with an attic and has five windows. The windows include wood transom and mullion cross-form 2-light designs, with a close-spaced continuous string course at the first floor. The former central door opening has been converted into a matching window. In the left gable, there is one small 2-light casement window in the attic and a large plate glass opening on the ground floor. The elevation facing the road includes various casements, including an 18th-century 3-light window on the first floor to the left and a 5-light window under a segmental brick arch on the ground floor to the right. The extension at the north end has a modern door. Inside, there is a large open fire with the remains of a bread oven and a new bressumer in the main block opposite the former door, as well as another large open fire in the southwest gable. A 16th-century doorway is built into the north wing. The roof was rebuilt around 1970.
