Description
Barham House is an early 19th century house located on the west side of Bluntisham High Street. It is constructed of gault brick with a low-pitched, tiled hipped roof and end stacks. A sawtooth eaves cornice runs around the building. The house is two storeys high. The central entrance features a six-panelled door flanked by two canted bay windows with fixed lights and glazing bars, all under lead roofs. The first floor has a three-window range of hung sashes with glazing bars. To the north is a single-storey bakehouse, also of gault brick, with a pantile roof. Internally, the original staircase and doors remain.
