Description
High Grange Farmhouse and attached farmbuildings are a farmhouse and associated agricultural buildings, probably dating from the early 18th century, with extensions from the 19th century and farmbuildings from the late 18th to early 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of coursed and partly squared sandstone rubble with late 19th-century brick dressings, having a French-tiled roof and rebuilt brick chimney stacks. The farmbuildings are of coursed rubble with corrugated asbestos and pantiled roofs. The farmbuildings form a U-shaped range to the rear of the house.
The farmhouse is two-storeys high, composed of two distinct builds. The original three-bay section is located to the right of a staggered straight joint; a later three-bay section was added to the left. Tooled stone quoins are present at the right end, while engineering brick quoins mark the left end. There’s a late 20th-century door and overlight to the left of the joint. Late 19th-century windows feature six-pane sashes in openings with brick jambs and segmental heads. One window is blocked in the second bay from the left, while a horizontal sliding sash window is found at ground-floor right, set within an earlier 18th-century opening with tooled stone jambs and an extended sill and lintel. Chimneys are situated at the left end and along the ridge. A single-storey wing on the right rear has altered openings.
Attached farmbuildings are also altered: a two-bay shed has a 20th-century garage opening at the rear of the wing. A taller three-bay barn with a steeply-pitched roof and reverse-stepped gables stands behind the shed. An L-shaped range of loose boxes and byres, featuring Dutch doors and hipped pantiled roofs, is attached to the left of the barn. The farmbuildings are included for their group value.
