Description
Wicken Park Tudor House is a house that has been converted into flats. It dates back to 1614 and has undergone alterations in the 18th and 20th centuries. The building is made of coursed limestone rubble and has a plain-tile roof with brick end stacks on stone bases. It is two storeys high with an attic and features a four-window range in a T plan.
The main facade faces south and includes double-leaf 20th-century dormers to the left of center and at the far right, both with overlights and stop-chamfered wood lintels. The ground floor has 20th-century three-light casement windows with wood lintels, except for a cross window to the left of the far right door, which has a stone lintel. The first floor has a three-light leaded casement window to the left with a wood lintel, while the other windows are four-light, chamfered leaded stone mullion windows, some of which have blocked lights. There is a similar window in the central first-floor dormer, with a datestone above it.
At the center of the first floor, there is a panel displaying the Spencer coat of arms and supporters. The house features a chamfered plinth and stone-coped gables with kneelers. A full-height gabled stair turret is located at the center rear, and the first-floor door to this turret has a plank door with a chamfered basket-arched stone surround. Inside, there are chamfered spine beams. The building was converted into stables for Wicken Park, likely in the 18th century, and the ground floor later became a gymnasium when Wicken Park was turned into a school.
