Brignall Grange

Brignall Grange is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. The main block and rear wings date from around 1700, with the south wing extended and the north block and laundry range added later in the 18th century. The south block and porch were added in the mid-19th century. The building features coursed rubble that is colour-washed on the north elevation, with cut dressings, while the 19th-century parts are made of squared stone with raised tooled dressings. It has stone slate roofs and an irregular plan, with the north block and laundry range enclosing a small yard that faces west.

The east elevation is two storeys high and consists of one bay, followed by two bays, and then another bay. The centre is the original house, which has a plinth and mid-19th-century canted bays with varied glazing, below 12-pane sashes set in raised stone surrounds. The roof is hip-ended with a central ridge stack. The right bay is the 18th-century north block, featuring a 20th-century French window with a 2-pane overlight below a 12-pane sash in a raised stone surround and a hipped roof. The taller left bay is the 19th-century south block, which has a plinth, rusticated quoins, and 4- and 12-pane sashes in raised chamfered surrounds, also with a hipped roof. The two-bay left return displays similar 19th-century details, including a canted bay with a French window. The left set-back two-bay original wing has a later 18th-century hip-roofed left bay. At the angle of the south block and wing is an extruded canted porch with a half-glazed door in a panelled wood surround.

On the rear elevation, a re-set doorway in the wall closing the yard has a bolection-moulded surround. The gable end of the laundry range to the left features an ogee arch leading to a coal chute, which is said to be from an old church. The elevations facing the yard include the north wing, which has a tall arched stair window with a radial head, an old plank door with a 3-pane overlight, a 12-pane sash with old iron bars, and 6- and 20-pane Yorkshire sashes. The laundry range has boarded doors, a stone stair leading to a boarded first-floor door, and two 12-pane Yorkshire sashes.

Inside, the 18th-century parts feature doors with six fielded panels and panelled shutters. There is a dogleg stair with urn-on-vase balusters and a swept moulded handrail, as well as a domed rooflight with radial panelled glazing. Additionally, there is a dogleg stone servants' stair.
