Grangewood Hall And Attached Stableblock

Grangewood Hall and an attached stableblock, dating from the early 19th century, with alterations carried out around 1960. The house is constructed of fine ashlar with stone dressings, a plinth, and a first-floor band. The stableblock is of painted red brick with painted stone dressings and a first-floor stone band. Both buildings have hipped, graduated slate roofs and moulded stone cornices, with corniced ashlar ridge stacks to the house.

The house is two storeys and three bays wide, with an attached eight-bay stableblock to the north. The main, south-east facing garden front features an advanced central bay with a stone mullioned tripartite window with glazing bar sashes beneath a bracketed pediment. A plain sash window is to the west, and a glazing bar sash to the east. Above these are three small glazing bar sashes. The east elevation has an advanced bay to the south, with pairs of glazing bar sashes above and below. A recessed wing to the north has three glazing bar sashes below and four above, the latter above an advanced porch set within the angle between the wings. The entrance has double-panelled doors, a traceried overlight flanked by Tuscan half-columns, all set within a wide, pilastered doorcase and a large cornice with a blocking course above. The west elevation has a two-storey bow to the advanced southern bay with two plain sashes below and two glazing bar sashes above. The recessed wing to the north has an advanced central bay with two first-floor glazing bar sashes; other windows are 20th century.

The stableblock features an advanced, pedimented two-bay central section with 20th-century doors cutting through a former quoined segmental arch to the ground floor. A similar quoined arch is found to the north, with plank doors flanked by glazing bar sashes. A similar sash is to the south of the advanced bays, with a further 20th-century addition beyond. Above are eight similar sashes. All sashes, except one, have wedge lintels with incised keystones. Centrally above these sashes is a blind, circular, traceried window within the pediment.

The interior of the house includes an open-well, cantilevered Hoptonwood marble staircase with an iron balustrade, two early 19th-century stone fireplaces in the ground-floor south rooms, some fine original plaster cornicing, and some original panelled doors. The interior underwent extensive remodelling in 1960, with early 19th-century details copied and resited.
