Weetwood Grange Weetwood Grove

Weetwood Grange, now a block of flats, was built in 1861, with later additions from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was commissioned for Thomas Wolryche Stansfield. The house is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with a slate roof. It is two storeys with attics, and the original main range is three bays wide by two bays deep. The design is in the Gothic Revival style, with a parallel-roofed rear wing projecting to the southeast. This wing is linked by an angled turret and was later refaced with timber cladding around the entrance on its north side.

The main southwest facade features a central stone porch with later glazing, stone columns with carved capitals, cusped arches, a shallow moulded pediment, and a carved finial. A gargoyle is situated on the left return. There are three stepped gables; the right bay projects and has a large canted bay window to the ground floor with ornate carved crenellation. Three-light windows are present on the left, and to the first floor, where window heads are ogee-form with carved stone plaques. A rose window occupies the right side, and lancets with cusped heads are found in the gables. The building has a modillion eaves cornice, original rainwater goods, tall corniced end stacks, and a stack positioned forward of the ridge, left of centre.

The rear elevation has sash windows on the original range. A Tudor-style stone arch forms the entrance, leading to an angled entrance with flanking and first-floor mullion and transom windows. A panelled parapet sits above. To the left are two cross windows to each floor; the upper floor features square-framed timber cladding and a half-hipped roof. The right return has an external stack, a canted bay window, and a stepped-gable dormer. The linking turret has a tall paired window to the ground floor and cross windows above, with an octagonal pointed roof. A gable of the added wing projects to the right, featuring cross windows to the ground floor, an oriel window to the upper floor, carved stone plaques, gable coping, and a finial.

The interior has not been inspected. Thomas Wolryche Stansfield was a wool merchant and his wife resided here by 1888. By 1897, Mrs Yates was the occupier, possibly the builder of the rear wing. By 1920, the property belonged to Harry Hirsch and was subsequently divided into Weetwood Grove and Weetwood Grange.
