Roebuck House.

This Grade II listed house is the dominant feature in Ferry Lane, Chesterton Conservation Area, and is one of the oldest buildings in Cambridge dating from the Middle Ages. The partly timber framed property has developed through the years and is now a large family home. This view is now the back of the old original house and I had to put the camera through railings in the private yard to get this shot. In 1690 a young Richard Roe inherited it and since then it has been home to a number of Cambridge Academics. In it's time, it has been an Inn, farmhouse and biology laboratory  In 1770 the Baptists used it and there is a font in the garden, now a flowerbed. The extensive grounds go down to the river Cam from the front of the house  I have seen pictures of the beautiful inside as it is now For Sale for offers around £3,000,000.
