7 and 9 Fambridge Road (EHER 38274)

A 17th century timber framed house, subdivided into two dwellings, No.7 and No.9. The house was originally of a two-bay, central lobby-entry plan, and is now divided across the centre, with two adjoining parallel cross-wings to the rear and rear extension to No.9 from around 1900. It was originally single storey with attics, and the front was raised to two full storeys under a hipped roof in the 18th century. The building is partially rendered and partially weatherboarded, the extension is built from red brick, and all have tiled roofs except from the slate-roofed lean-to extension.
