Description
No. 83 Station Road is a cottage built in 1633, which was subdivided in the 19th century. It underwent enlargement of the rear wing and restorations in the 1970s. The cottage features a rendered timber frame and a steeply pitched cement-tiled roof, with a ridge stack that has two diagonally set shafts on a rectangular base, adorned with a recessed panel and fine original moulded brickwork above a small leaded plaque displaying the date 1633. The building has a lobby entry plan and consists of one storey and an attic. The two dormers and three windows, along with the door in the right-hand gable end, were all added around the 1970s.
Inside, there are exposed beams on the front and rear walls with straight downward bracing. The main beam in the left-hand bay, which was originally the parlour and is now the kitchen, features stop chamfers similar to those found at 13 Toft Lane and St. Martins Cottage on Apthorpe Street in Fulbourn. The joists in the central bay are also stop chamfered. The cottage includes abutting inglenook hearths made of original narrow gault bricks, and one bay of the original roof remains intact.
