Lambrook House

Lambrook House is a house dating from the 16th century, with substantial alterations and additions in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The construction incorporates ashlar, coursed and squared rubble, and brick, with double-Roman tiled roofs, coped verges, and brick stacks. Originally an open hall house, it has undergone later flooring and 18th and 19th-century internal rearrangement, including the addition of a late 18th-century wing creating an L-shaped frontage. The main portion of the house is two storeys high and has a 3:2 bay arrangement. It features 16-pane sash windows in moulded architraves, along with a high-quality canted bow window on the ground floor, finished with a dentil cornice. Further windows include a 2-light and a 4-light stone-mullioned window with labels, iron casements, and square-paned leaded lights; a 3-light wood casement in a matching style to the extreme right; two 18th-century casements on the first floor with leaded lights; and a wooden casement in an architrave above the central door. The central door is set within a moulded architrave with a cornice and hood, and has a 6-panelled door. The right wing of the frontage has three 3-light casements, two with leaded lights. The interior contains notable features, including a smoke-blackened arch-braced roof, a cream-scalder in a fine stone surround on the ground floor, and numerous examples of good 18th-century joinery.
