Viewly Grange Farmhouse And Attached Farmbuilding

Viewly Grange is a farmhouse and attached farmbuilding dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with quoins and ashlar dressings, featuring roofs made of pantiles, concrete tiles, and corrugated iron, along with brick chimneys. The building is arranged in a U-shape with a symmetrical front. The main range is two storeys high and has three bays, with lower two-storey, one-bay wings on either side. The ground level slopes sharply from right to left, making the farm building on the right lower than the domestic wing on the left. There are long rear wings, with one storey on the left and two storeys on the right bay of the farmhouse.

The main block features a central door with four beaded panels set in a moulded stone surround. Above this door and in the outer bays are 16-pane sash windows that have wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The left wing has a similar lintel over a 20th-century door on the ground floor, with a horizontal sliding sash window at the eaves. Quoins are present on the left wing, at the upper left corner of the house, and extending the full height of the right bay. The right extension includes a small horizontal sliding sash window under a flat stone lintel on the left side. The two-storey part has a low-pitched hipped roof with banded chimneys on the return eaves, and there is a similar chimney at the end of the left wing. The left return features a renewed half-glazed door flanked by windows with glazing bars, as well as a segmental-headed carriage arch with voussoirs and alternate-block jambs. The rear wings have pantiled roofs with ridge ventilators on the two-storey range, while the front buildings have concrete tiles, except for the iron roof on the right farm building.
