Grange House (On Corner With Cow Or Pinfold Lane)

Grange House is a house dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with a 19th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with red brick dressings, and a red brick addition. The roof is covered with concrete tiles. The house is rectangular, originally in an L-shape, comprising a two-room, central entrance-hall frontage and a single-room wing to the rear left, with a later addition in the rear right angle. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has a symmetrical three-bay front. The front entrance has a 4-fielded-panel door beneath a plain overlight in an architrave, set within a flat red brick arch. Original windows are 4-pane sashes set in 18th-century flush wooden architraves with sills, all set within flat brick arches. A stepped and cogged brick eaves cornice runs around the building. The gables are stone-coped with shaped kneelers, and there are corniced end stacks, the one on the left having been rebuilt. On the left return, a small 2-pane sash window has been inserted, set within a cambered red brick arch. The original attic hatch has a board door on strap hinges, set within a segmental arch. The lower rear section has an original 4-fielded-panel door in an architrave, set within a red brick flat arch. There is a 4-pane sash window to the left on the ground floor, and a small casement window to the first floor, both set within original red brick flat arches. A stepped and cogged brick eaves cornice is present, along with a raised gable and a rebuilt end stack. The interior features an open-well staircase with a moulded handrail and column-on-vase balusters with square knops. A pilastered marble chimney-piece is present in the front left ground-floor room, and there are 6-fielded-panel doors in architraves. The property was unoccupied at the time of a survey in April 1987.
