Description
The Palace is a house dating from the early to mid 18th century. It was once used by the Bishop of Ely as lodging during visits to the parish. The building is constructed of local buff bricks and features hipped plain tile roofs with a tall side stack on the southeast. It has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a shallow L-plan and a modern extension to the northwest. The original structure consists of two bays, with two tall casement windows on both the first and ground floors, all set in gauged brick segmental arches. A sun fire insurance plaque is also present. Inside, there is an original closed string staircase with turned balusters that rises in short flights to the attic floor.

The Palace sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 89% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
