Description

This is a fine country house built in 1710 by John Pedley, a Member of Parliament for Huntingdonshire from 1706 to 1708. It is dated and inscribed on brick to the west of the doorway on the north wall. Lower additions were built to the east and west at a later date. The house is constructed of red brick with limestone dressings to the south front. It has a parapetted, hipped roof covered with plain tiles and lead, featuring two original ridge stacks of red brick with moulded limestone capping. The house is two storeys and has attics, with three dormers.

The south front is symmetrically designed with five bays, framed by giant, rusticated pilasters. A band runs between the storeys and at eaves height. Flat, gauged brick arches with stone key blocks feature above later flush, wood frame sash windows; the ground floor window to the west is blind and the windows have stone sills. A flight of three steps leads to the central doorway, which has an engaged Corinthian column doorcase, an entablature, and a broken segmental pediment. A cartouche with a shield of arms is in the tympanum.

The north front also has five bays and incorporates a basement as well as two storeys and an attic. A parapetted, two-storey bay was added to the west, as were service wings to the east, towards the end of the 18th century. A neo-Georgian loggia was constructed in 1961 by Marshall Sisson. Original rainwater heads are present at the east and west gable ends.

Inside, the house follows a double-pile plan and retains substantially unchanged interior details from the early 18th century. Nearly all rooms on the ground and first floors retain the original panelling and doors. The main hall features a fluted Corinthian screen at the west end, with a floor of limestone slabs set diagonally. The main staircase has three flights with a landing, and is an open string design with three twisted balusters (some renewed) per tread. A back staircase is of four flights, with a closed string, turned balusters, and square newels. On the first floor, a small lobby leads to twin doorways for two rooms on the north side. This lobby has a semi-domed ceiling with a palm leaf vignette.
