Whittlesford Grove

Whittlesford Grove is a farmhouse, now a house, that dates back to the late 16th century and was remodeled with a later addition from the late 18th or early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with a painted brick plinth and a 20th-century plain tiled roof. It features a 16th-century red brick end stack on the right side and a rear stack, each with three octagonal shafts. The front includes a 19th-century wooden door, flanked by two flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows and two three-light hung sash windows. The first floor has similar three-light windows and one central twelve-paned hung sash window. There are three horizontal sliding sash hipped dormer windows. Inside, most details are from the 19th century, including a 16th-century strapwork frieze above a four-centred arched clunch fireplace that has recently been exposed, a roll-moulded ceiling beam in the rear wing, and a butt purlin roof. The house may have been restored by Ebenezer Hollick in the late 18th century.
