Description

Cambridge House is a house, now partly used as a surgery, dating from the mid-18th century. It is built of Flemish bond brick with tuck pointing, stone dressings, party wall stacks, and a tiled roof, reflecting a Mid Georgian style. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys high with a five-window range.

The symmetrical front features a thin brick cornice and parapet, along with an impressive timber doorcase that includes an architrave, a dentil cornice with cast-iron cresting, a pulvinated frieze, and panelled reveals and soffit. The main door has six raised panels and a three-pane overlight, while there is a service doorway on the left with a rubbed brick segmental-arched double boarded door. The windows include 6/6-pane sashes in flush frames, 3/3-pane sashes on the second floor, and some plate-glass sashes, all topped with rubbed brick flat arches.

Inside, there is a central early 19th-century dogleg stair with stick balusters and column newels, leading down to a full-width room at the rear that has a central rear doorway. The interior also features mid to late 19th-century fireplaces.
