Description
Grange Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1653, with the upper storey rebuilt in the late 18th century and a late 19th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of orange brick in English garden wall bond and Flemish bond, topped with a Welsh slate roof and two brick chimneys. The building has a rectangular plan with two short ranges at the rear and features a symmetrical three-bay front over three storeys.
There is a brick plinth and plain pilasters between the bays on the ground and first floors, along with a moulded band at the first floor that acts as a cornice, showing remains of keyblocks over the windows, which may indicate central pilasters. The end bays contain inserted three-light windows with small-pane iron casements beneath cambered brick heads, while the top storey has two-light casements in half dormers.
A projecting gabled three-storey porch features a four-centred headed stone doorcase with a restored lintel inscribed with "AD 1653 EBM" and a graffito reading "GV 1755" on the jamb. There are two small windows above the porch, and a plain band runs across both floors of the remainder of the building.
Inside, there is one chamfered ceiling beam and a restored four-centred headed stone fireplace, with remaining fittings made of pine. If the date is accurate, this farmhouse represents an unusually early use of classical detailing in a vernacular structure.
