Description
Wildon Grange is a house dating from around 1840, constructed of dressed sandstone with a slate roof and stone chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and features a three-by-three bay layout with raised-and-chamfered quoins. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with a three-pane overlight set in a rusticated surround. On either side of the entrance are canted bay windows, while above are 12-pane sash windows with flush lintels and projecting sills. The gutter is supported by stone brackets, and the roof is low-pitched and hipped. There is a corniced lateral stack on the left side, topped with ornamental chimney pots. The right return has identical 12-pane sash windows. At the rear, there is a one-storey, one-bay wing with a hipped roof. A 20th-century glazed addition on the left return is not considered of special interest.
