Description

Ulgham Grange Farmhouse is a mid-18th century house that was extended in the early 19th century. It is built of brick and has a slate roof, forming an L-plan. The south front consists of two sections; the west part is two storeys high with three symmetrical bays. The central area features a renewed 24-pane sash window that has been inserted into a former door opening, flanked by French windows. On the first floor, there is a single sash window flanked by tripartite sashes, all of which have glazing bars and are set under segmental heads with rendered heads and sills. The gables are stone-coped, and the end stacks are rebuilt in brick.

The left return shows a renewed 12-pane sash window and a trompe l'oeil window. The lower bay to the east was raised to two storeys in the early 19th century and features 12-pane sashes, with the lower one being renewed, along with rendered sills and heads. The gable is stone-coped, and the right end stack is rebuilt in brick. The right return displays an earlier tumbled-in gable and an early 19th-century rear wing that was extended later. The earlier part has two first-floor Yorkshire sashes, while the later part has paired 12-pane sashes.

The rear elevation features a central 20-pane sash stair window with Gothick glazing in a semicircular head and a trompe l'oeil window to the right. Inside, there is an open-well stair with stick balusters and some contemporary fittings. This farmhouse stands on the site of a 12th-century grange belonging to the Cistercian Newminster Abbey.
