Description
House: The Grange is a mid-18th century house with alterations and additions dating to the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond orange brick with yellow brick headers, set on a sandstone plinth. The roof is of Welsh slate, and there are three brick chimneys. The house follows a double-pile plan and has been extended. The original core of the house presents a two-storey, three-bay facade. A modillion cornice runs along the top. The windows are 16-pane sashes with flat, wedged stone surrounds and stone sills. The doorcase has a rebated semi-circular gauged and rubbed brick head, supported by plain wooden columns, and a fanlight with radial glazing bars and marginal lights. The door itself is six-panelled. A cast-iron verandah, set on a stone flag base, runs in front of the lower storey. The verandah features four uprights and scrolled brackets to the frieze, all exhibiting open geometric designs. A single-storey extension to the right has a 16-pane sash window. Internally, a staircase is present with brackets on an open string, plain square balusters, and a mahogany handrail. Some unremarkable early Victorian decorative work is also visible.
