GV II*

Farmhouse, formerly the manor house. Built by Henry Pigott (d.1588) possibly
as an addition to an existing building. Mid C16 with C17 additions and
alterations, and C19 and C20 renovation. Timber-framed and plastered with red
brick and some reused early medieval limestone plinth; red brick chimney
stacks. Plain tiled gabled roofs. Two storeys. Rear service wing forming an
L-plan with main range. Central passage to main range continued as a screen
passage to rear hall with similar first floor plan perhaps functioning
originally as a long gallery. C17 kitchens now demolished with exposed hearth
and baking oven to north-west elevation, rear hall divided for dairy and
pantry. South-east elevation: Roof with four gables, gable to right hand
largest, each gable with folded leaf ornament to barge boards, turned drop
finials and one to the centre of each jettied roof bay with a carved head
finial to right hand. First floor jetty plastered. Wide doorway with carved
leaf spandrels to four-centred arch. Studded boarded oak door. One early C20
three-light casement window to left hand and one large twelve-paned
flush-framed hung sash window to right hand; three similar but smaller first
floor windows; one attic window. Tiled roof and offsets to guarderobe and to
large side chimney stack with pair of cojoined diagonal shafts; small lights
to guarderobe. Two late C17 cross framed leaded light casement windows in
north-east elevation. Interior: Double ogee chamfered cross beams, main
ceiling beams and cornices with leaf stops and run out stops. Substantial
close-studded timber-frame. One window with ogee-and hollow-chamfer moulded
mullions blocked in north-west elevation. Clunch door jambs to guarderobes.
Chimneys recently blocked to south-west rooms. Three doors, two with oak
planks and ribs, and one with nine panels and moulded frame. Staircase to
roof with some original solid wooden steps. Side purlin roofs with curved
wind braces formerly in each bay. The roof of the south-east gable has racked
and been rebuilt. Early C19 staircase in main range and replacement doors.
The manor house became a farmhouse after 1680 when Granado Pigott removed to
Bassingbourn, it is perhaps then that alterations were made to the rear wing.
Glass with family coat of arms removed to chancel of Bassingbourn Church. The
house is situated within a moated site.
