Description

River Cam Farmhouse is a house dating from the early and late 17th century. It is timber framed, with plaster rendering and some areas featuring herring-bone pargetting, topped with tiles. The ridge stack on the south range has been removed, while the end stack of the domestic wing to the north has been rebuilt. The building has a T-plan layout and consists of one storey with an attic. The south elevation features two 19th-century gable dormers and three windows on either side of a baffle entry doorway. The north range, which is from the late 17th century, has been extended on the sides with a lean-to that has been rebuilt, and this wing includes some late 17th-century red brick. Inside, there are 17th-century side purlin roofs with ridge pieces and later roofs added over the original. One room at the west end of the south range has heavy ceiling joists laid flat, and there is a secondary roof laid over the original, showing evidence of later framing.
