Description

The Grange is a house built in 1767, with later alterations around 1825. It is constructed of red brick, laid in a chequered pattern of red and cream brick, coursed ironstone rubble, and has pantile roofing with a single gable stack and a tall central ridge stack on the 18th-century east range. The 19th-century west range has slate hipped roofs with three lateral brick stacks.

The east service wing has lower north, east, and most of the south walls built of coursed ironstone rubble with red brick above. A doorway in the east end of the north front has an 18th-century doorcase with a bracketed hood, a rectangular overlight, and a six-panelled door. An early 19th-century glazing bar sash window is located to the east of the doorway, with a partially fixed window above. A datestone inscribed "M.W.L. 1767 J.L." has been re-set into the 19th-century range next to the door.

The west range is constructed of red and cream chequered brick, featuring a two-storey, three-bay south front. The central doorway has a rectangular fanlight with margin lights and a six-panelled door, flanked by single glazing bar sashes, with three above. The ground floor windows have splayed stone lintels.

The interior is of good quality. The west range retains its original double-pile plan, and includes an elegant early 19th-century staircase with carved tread ends. The 18th-century service wing has beamed ceilings.
