Description
Midloe Grange is a farmhouse, likely built around 1590 for Robert Payne of St Neots, situated on a moated site. It is constructed of timber frame with plaster infill, following a half-H plan. Later additions include a 17th-century brick stair turret to the south of the hall range, and an 18th-century dairy extension to the west crosswing. The roof is tiled, with a projecting soft red brick side stack to the east crosswing and a ridge stack to the west crosswing. The building is two storeys high, with one window to the north elevation of each crosswing and hall. Each crosswing has a canted bay window on the ground floor. The hall entrance is marked by a 19th-century doorcase.
Inside, the hall and east crosswing have two bays each, while the west crosswing has three. The main beams are chamfered and stopped. The ground floor room at the rear of the east wing features an inglenook fireplace. The chamber above this room contains an original early 17th-century stone fireplace with chamfered jambs, a four-centred arch in a square head, and carved spandrels. This chamber is barrel vaulted, with plastered vaulting except for the exposed chamfered arch braced collar truss. The roof above is a side purlin design. A 17th-century staircase with a close string, a square newel post, and a moulded rail rises over two flights. The west crosswing features a sealed inglenook hearth with an 18th-century overmantel. Numerous late 17th or early 18th-century panelled doors are also present.
