Cambrook House

Cambrook House is a former workhouse, dating from the 1830s, now used as housing. Constructed of rubble with rendered rear elevations, it features freestone dressings and quoins, with ashlar to the central pediment. The roofs are covered with 20th-century tiles. The building is designed in a Classical style and has a symmetrical composition, comprising a three-storey, five-bay central block flanked by two-storey, four-bay wings and single-storey, eight-bay ranges. Throughout, there are six-pane sash windows, with some openings altered to create small-pane glazed doors. The central block's three middle bays are slightly advanced, topped with a pediment and a blind roundel. A string course runs over the ground floor windows, connecting the central section to the flanking wings. Another string is positioned above the first-floor windows of the central block. The building has gabled and hipped roofs. It holds significant social importance locally, as noted in Nikolaus Pevsner’s “Buildings of England.”
