GV

House, C14 and C15, extended and altered in C19. Timber framed,
plaster rendered with gault brick casing to part and steeply
pitched tiled roofs with side stacks. Plan of main range in
three bays with rear range, forming an L-plan for the original
house. Two storeys and two storeys and attic. The range to
Church Lane is partly obscured by a lean-to conservatory and all
the fenestration is of mid-late C19 recessed hung sashes. The
rear range has a horizontal sliding sash at first floor and a
tripartite hung sash at ground floor. The principal entry is to
the centre bay of the range to Church Lane. Interior: Main
range in three bays with the centre bay partly open to the roof
following the collapse of part of the ceiling to the ground
floor room. The C19 staircase forms a gallery at first floor.
The roof is visible and is of late C15 crown-post construction.
Unmoulded with two way bracing. Very little of the framing was
visible in the rest of the house. However, the rear range has a
fine crown-post roof. Although the tie beam has been removed
and the base of the post cut down, the rest of the crown post
with collar purlin and four-way bracing is intact. The collar
purlin, braces and corners of the post, which is square in
section, have hollow mouldings, as does the wall plate and
middle rail which carries the floor. The hollow mouldings are
smaller but similar to those of Rectory Farm, Great Shelford
(q.v.) dated c1330-50.
