Description

Ely House is an early 18th-century farmhouse located on Lynn Road in Wisbech. It is constructed of local brown brick and features a pantiled roof with high tumbled parapet gables and end stacks. The building is two storeys tall with attics and has a symmetrical facade consisting of five bays in an L-plan layout. There are three flat-roofed casement dormer windows, five original cross-framed casement windows on the first floor, and four similar ground floor windows set in segmental arches. The late 18th-century doorcase has attached wooden columns and an enriched broken pediment, along with a plain round-headed fanlight and a six-panelled door.

At the rear, there is a two-storey extension from 1854, as indicated by a plaque, featuring a red pantiled roof and two gable extensions. The windows here have 19th-century brick labels.

Inside, the right-hand room has complete panelling and a fine late 18th-century chimney piece. There is a sealed kitchen hearth in the rear wing, a 19th-century staircase, and a service wing that includes a dairy to the east. The chimney pieces feature Lambeth tiles, and there is a tiled cupboard in the service wing. The original kitchen door retains its iron hinges.
