Description
Ricknall Grange Farmhouse and the yard wall to the rear were built around 1840. The farmhouse features a sandstone plinth and narrow red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a Welsh slate roof and brick chimneys. It is two storeys high and has a three-by-three bay layout. The garden front includes a central blocked doorway with a header-bond archivolt, and it has replaced four-pane sash windows with projecting sills and brick flat arches. The low-pitched hipped roof has two chimneys along the ridge. The right side of the house has a replaced six-panel door in a similar style and matching window arrangements. The wall at the rear of the house borders the central yard entrance and is ramped at both ends, connecting to a single-storey brick outbuilding on the left and a similar stone outbuilding on the right. There is a 20th-century addition to the left side of the house, which is not of special interest.
