Description

This is a house, now divided into two dwellings, situated on High Street in Bassingbourn. The core of the building dates to the early 16th century, with significant additions from the mid-18th century and mid-19th century. The original structure is roughcast over a timber frame, featuring a gabled tile roof. Later sections have hipped roofs, brick ridge stacks, and end stacks. The original layout was open-hall, but was remodelled in the 17th century into a three-unit plan, and further extended in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The front elevation, one storey and attic, has a three-window arrangement. A 20th-century door is located on the left side of No. 35. Windows include an early 19th-century twelve-pane sash to the left, a 20th-century two-light casement with glazing bars, and an early 19th-century sixteen-pane sash to the right (No. 37). Gabled and canted roof dormers are present. A mid-18th to late-18th century extension to the left features a two-storey, two-window front with a late 19th-century tripartite sash window. The rear of No. 35 has an early 19th-century twenty-pane sash adjoining a mid-18th to late-18th century extension with twelve-pane sashes and a mid-19th-century doorway with a bracketed surround. Similar sashes and a panelled door are found on the right-side wall of the mid-19th-century rear extension. A 1980s extension is present to the right and rear of No. 37.

Internally, the original house retains a chamfered bressummer above a rebuilt mid-20th century brick fireplace, as well as a clasped purlin roof showing signs of smoke blackening. A mid-19th century open-well staircase has a wreathed handrail and balusters, alternating between crossed and stick designs set on an open string.

Attached to the left is a former bakehouse and granary, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. This building is of rendered timber frame construction on a tall brick plinth, and has a gabled and hipped corrugated asbestos roof. The interior of the bakehouse and granary features stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, bolted knee braces to the first-floor tie beams, late 19th-century glazed brick, and late 18th-century brick ovens.
