Wartoft Grange

Wartoft Grange is a house that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the mid-18th century and incorporates parts of an earlier building, with an early 19th-century extension and some 20th-century alterations. The structure is made of red brick resting on an ashlar plinth, and it features a 20th-century blue tile roof that has replaced the original Swithland slates. The building has brick gable copings and brick chimneys on the left and between the right bays. It stands two storeys high with an attic and consists of three bays.

The windows have altered glazing, but all except the ground floor centre window retain their original segmental arches. The ground floor includes a blocked window on the left, a 19th-century four-pane sash window with marginal glazing in the centre, and a 20th-century casement window on the right. The first floor features 20th-century wooden casements, all with glazing bars and asymmetrical top-lights. Between the left bays, there is a 20th-century door with a rectangular fanlight and a narrow two-light casement window above. An outbuilding projecting from the right end is not of special architectural interest. Attached to the right end of the house is a three-storey 19th-century extension with cogged eaves and three-light barred wooden casements, including a horizontal sash window on the first floor. There is a board door to the left, and the rear of the original block has a rubblestone outshot in part, which has been extended in brick to its full length in the 20th century.

Inside, the main door opens into a narrow hall featuring moulded floor joists and a staircase with shaped splat balusters. The centre bay has an ovolo-moulded spine beam with small end brackets and moulded joists. The right bay contains a re-used half of a moulded spine beam and simple wide joists, along with large fireplaces. The 19th-century extension includes a large kitchen with a slab for a cheese-press and remnants of a large fireplace and bake-ovens.
