Hampton Lucy House

Hampton Lucy House is a rectory, later adapted as a house, dating to the early 18th century with additions from the early 19th century. It is situated on Church Street, Hampton Lucy. The building is constructed of brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings, and has a hipped old tile roof with brick internal stacks. It is of an early Georgian style, built around a central staircase plan with a service range to the right.

The main front is symmetrical with five windows and displays two storeys plus an attic. It features an ashlar plinth, a top cornice and a balustraded parapet with fielded-panelled piers and a central segmental-headed panel displaying the Lucy Arms. Rusticated quoins are also present. The entrance is distinguished by an architrave with flanking panelled pilaster strips and a pulvinated frieze supporting a consoled segmental pediment. The moulded door frame incorporates angle paterae, and the overlight features decorative glazing bars above a four-panel door. Windows are characterised by sills, rubbed brick flat arches with key blocks, and 6/6 sash windows. Three hipped dormers have 2-light small-paned casements.

The left return has a four-window range, with an attached conservatory featuring 18-pane sashes and two dormers. The rear has a brick parapet and a single-storey stuccoed projection to the right, containing two windows with a ramped cornice, a parapet, and triple key blocks above 2/4 horned sashes. The right return incorporates blocked windows and rainwater heads, alongside a two-storey, three-window, double-depth brick range with a slate roof and brick cross-axial stacks. This extension has quoins, a top cornice, an entrance with an overlight to a four-panel door, and windows similar to the main range. There is also a segmental-headed entrance and two ground floor windows with cross-casements, as well as two first-floor windows flanking an inserted window.

The rear elevation likely incorporates older fabric, including a blocked entrance with a 12-pane sash above. The right end has a segmental-headed window with a tripartite sash, and two windows above with timber lintels over 12-pane sashes.

Inside, the entrance hall features a dado and deep entablature, with architraves to six-fielded-panel doors. A red marble fireplace is also present. The open-well staircase has a cut string, wreathed handrail, fluted newel posts, and two column-on-vase balusters to each tread. A room to the left of the stair has fielded panelling to the dado, a marble fireplace, and bookcases flanking a Greek Doric doorway with attached columns and a triglyph pediment. The bookcases include entablatures and round-headed panelled cupboard doors at each end. A room within the rear addition displays rich decoration, incorporating the luce and cross-crosslet from the Lucy Arms, a rich cornice, ceiling panels with a central roundel, and a plain fireplace, which is likely later.

The house was formerly the home of the Rev John Lucy, a patron of the Church of St Peter.
