Description
Nos. 87, 87B, and 87C on High Street is a former farmhouse that has been subdivided. The building dates from the early 16th century or earlier, with extensions from the 17th and 18th centuries, and has been refenestrated in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame with an exposed gable featuring jowled posts and diagonal bracing at the rear, while the rest of the structure is mainly brick, which is mostly painted. The roof is tiled and has a brick chimney stack located in the center of the range and at one end.
No. 87 is one storey with attics at the front, featuring a gabled dormer, and two storeys at the rear, which has decorative tiles above the brickwork. It has two casement windows and a gabled porch that is tile-hung and painted brick. Nos. 87B and 87C form an L-shape and are two storeys high, with three windows on the main range. The front has one 20th-century casement window and one mid-19th-century casement window with vertical glazing bars. The rear features a projecting timber-framed gable.
Interior details include a frame with curved braces and a curved tie beam, a roof with coupled rafters, through purlins, and collar beams, as well as a mid-17th-century axial beam that has a chamfer, fillet, tongue, and triangle.
This building was once owned by the Wrest Park Estate and is depicted on an estate map of Henlow from 1718.
