Musgrave Farmhouse

Musgrave Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century and early 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 19th century. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure, with 17th century local brick and a 19th century gault brick casing. The roof is covered in plain tiles. The building is two storeys high with attics and has an L-shaped plan. The 16th century timber-framed cross-wing juts out towards the street, while a later brick east range is positioned at right angles, accompanied by a 19th century outshut in the angle. There is a ridge stack and a large rear stack on the east range.

The street-facing elevation has a brick plinth and includes one three-light attic casement window, along with two three-light transomed casement windows on the first floor and one similar ground floor window. The main entrance is located on the west-facing facade and is cased in gault brick. It features a four-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight above, and cambered brick arches above three first floor sixteen-paned recessed hung sash windows, one similar ground floor window, and one larger twelve-paned hung sash window.

Inside, there are details of 17th century panelling, as noted in the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments for East Cambridgeshire. Recently discovered features include ovolo moulded side lights on the cross-wing windows. Additionally, there is painted imitation panelling on the east wall of a first floor room in the east wing. The 16th century cross-wing is a surviving part of a larger building that once existed to the west. The property is referenced in the Inclosure Award Map from 1807.
