Abbey Grange

Abbey Grange, formerly known as Little Abbey and Ash Tree House, is a house that has been converted into a residential home. It was built in the early 19th century and features dressed stone with a hipped Welsh slate roof and two brick stacks at the rear.

The building is two storeys high and has a three-window facade. The central window is a Gothick-glazed casement with lattice leaded lights, set in a canted porch bay that has cornices and a castellated parapet. This is flanked by 6/6 sash windows in moulded cases with spandrels, all under hood-mouldings. The central entrance features a margin-glazed two-panel door with an ashlar porch, flanked by canted ashlar bays that also have margin-glazed sashes.

On the left side, there are 6/6 and margin-glazed sashes with moulded cases and hood-mouldings, as well as margin-glazed French windows with an overlight under a cast-iron porch. The rear has a rendered wing with margin-glazed sashes and a semicircular basement light.

Inside, there is an open well staircase with stick balusters and a swan neck rail. On the first floor, there are four-panel doors with architraves, and the windows have panelled risers and architraves. The ground floor features a marble fireplace, a ceiling cornice, alcoves, four-panel doors with architraves, and a tiled fireplace with a wood surround.

This property was built for the painter David Cox, who moved in in 1823, and it is similar in style to No. 42 Venn's Lane.
