Description
Kimbolton House is a Grade II listed building located on Kimbolton High Street. Originally, it consisted of two separate 17th century buildings with a central passageway, which were incorporated into an early 19th century inn. This inn is two storeys high and has an additional range known as 'The Sun' tap room to the south-west. In the mid-19th century, the street range was raised to three storeys, and the tap room became the service wing of the house. A billiard room was added to the north-west of the street range in the late 19th century.
The building features a combination of brick and timber-frame construction, rendered on the exterior. The street elevation is adorned with painted wooden trellis, divided into panels that frame the upper windows. It has a low pitched slate roof with deep boarded eaves, a pierced pelmet, and paired modillions. There are side stacks, and the building has six hung sash windows in moulded wooden frames with glazing bars on the first and second floors. The slightly projecting ground floor has five similar windows. To the right of the centre, there is a door with six raised and fielded panels set in an architraved doorcase, flanked by two attached Doric columns.
On the rear elevation of the main range, there are six hung sash windows set in round-headed arches. The former Sun Inn, which serves as the rear service wing to the south-west, is two storeys high, constructed of painted brick with a low pitched slate roof and an end stack to the south-west. It retains three original first floor hung sash windows with glazing bars. The interior includes 19th century chimney pieces, doors, and a staircase.
