Sandal Grange Farmhouse And Adjoining Farm Buildings

Sandal Grange Farmhouse and adjoining farm buildings date from 1815, as indicated by a shield over the stable entrance featuring the initials D M and I D. The buildings form a group around a courtyard that is partly paved with small stones and partly with bricks. The symmetrical two-storey north range has a tall five-bay center and lower two-bay ends. The left end and one bay of the center block serve as the residential area, while the rest is used for stabling with storage above. The structure is made of coursed, slurred, worked stone, topped with stone flagged roofs that have a fairly low pitch. Heavy tooled stone lintels and projecting cills are present at the openings, most of which are blocked on the outer north front. The residential part features sash windows with glazing bars, and there is a cross-shaped slit opening above the central stable door. Inside, there is a row of loose boxes framed in cast iron by Hayward Brothers, complete with name plates on the doors. Feed bins and the original drained floor are also intact. The east range includes one segmental archway, a window, and two round-arched carriage doors. The one-storey south range contains a series of small rooms. The courtyard is bordered on the west by a stone wall with rounded coping, against which sits a stone dog kennel with a stone-flagged gabled roof and round-arched opening, as well as a small pent shed.
