Lambourne Place

Lambourne Place is a house originating from the 17th century, which underwent significant alterations in the mid-18th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered, with a front made of red brick and a roof covered with handmade red clay tiles. The building is aligned approximately north-south, with a west-facing aspect and an 18th-century extension at the rear. To the north, there is a 19th-century service range.

Inside, there is a central entrance hall with an internal chimney stack to the north and two external chimney stacks on the south wall. The house is two storeys high with attics. The symmetrical brick front, dating around 1740, has a rusticated ground floor and rusticated quoins. The central section is slightly set forward and features rusticated pilasters and a moulded open pediment.

The ground floor includes a six-panel door located in a recessed porch, with jambs and a lintel that are panelled with egg-and-dart borders. The wooden doorcase has an open pediment, which is dentilled and enriched, supported on consoles. There are three double-hung sash windows on each side of the door; the inner two have eight lights, while the outer ones have twelve lights, all with flat arches made of gauged brick and projecting voussoirs. A string course runs at first-floor level.

On the first floor, there is a central Venetian group of double-hung sash windows, with eight lights in the side windows, separated by rusticated piers. There are two windows on each side, similar to those on the ground floor. A moulded brick cornice and a parapet conceal dormers, with one double-hung sash window of six lights in the pediment. Some of the windows contain crown glass.

The 18th-century staircase features three balusters per tread and scrolled tread ends, while the pine panelling from the same period has been stripped and varnished. No timber framing is exposed in the interior. According to the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, the wooden doorcase is said to have originated from Dews Hall in the same parish, overlaying the rusticated brickwork.
