Hemingford Grey House

Hemingford Grey House, dated 1697, is a Grade II* listed building located on the north side of Church Street in Hemingford Grey. The house features a square plan and is constructed of red brick with a hipped roof covered in old plain tiles, which has a modillioned eaves cornice. It stands two storeys high with attics and includes two internal stacks made of similar brick, complete with capping and string courses.

The symmetrical elevations on the north-east and north-west sides each have two dormers with hung sashes that have glazing bars set in cambered heads and later gables. There are five window ranges of 19th-century hung sashes with glazing bars, framed in moulded architraves with slightly curved heads within segmental arches. The north-east doorway features a flat, moulded hood supported by scroll brackets and a panelled soffit. The door itself has six raised and fielded panels topped with two glazed upper lights. The north-west doorway is approached by three curved steps and has a plain shell hood on scroll brackets adorned with carved foliate decoration; its door consists of two raised and fielded panels with a glazed upper half and a rectangular fan-light.

Inside, the north-west ground-floor room retains original raised and fielded panelling and a moulded cornice. The main staircase, dating from around 1720, has two flights with an open string design, carved brackets, and three turned balusters on each tread, along with a moulded rail. There is also a late 17th-century back staircase featuring a closed string, turned balusters, and square section newel posts.

To the south-east, there is a late 17th-century service range that is timber-framed and rendered, with an old plain tile roof hipped to the right. This range has a ridge stack made of small handmade bricks and stands two storeys tall, featuring two ranges of four hung sashes with glazing bars in moulded architraves and plain plaster margins. A modern red brick extension has been added to the service range, which also has a hipped tiled roof and similar windows.
