Description

Kingsland Grange is a house that has been used as a school since 1910 and was built in 1884. The building features rock-faced sandstone on the ground floor and mock timberwork above, adorned with balustraded posts and cusped quatrefoils. It has a plain tiled roof and is three storeys high with a four-window range, including a service block on the left.

The exterior includes a gabled entrance porch at the center-left of the main block, showcasing heavy timberwork and stained-glass windows that illustrate the poem "Gather ye Rosebuds." The right-hand gable projects and features a squared five-light bay window on the ground floor. Throughout the building, sash windows with small panes in the upper lights are present, along with a gablet over the upper window to the right of the doorway. The gables are enhanced with enriched bressumers and barge-boards, and the return elevation to the garden has parallel gables with a large canted bay window in the rear dining room. Tall axial brick stacks shaped like stars are also notable.

Inside, the entrance hall to the left of the main block has linenfold dado panelling and a heavy fireplace, with a mantel supported by heraldic beasts and inscribed with the text "East and West Home is Best." The staircase features turned newels and rises to a gallery that is lit by a large window with stained-glass roundels depicting kings and queens of England. The drawing room on the right boasts a plaster panelled ceiling and a marble fireplace in the Adam style, which is white with inlaid gold marble forming fluted pilasters on either side, along with low relief panels above. The dining room at the rear includes a massive inglenook with an overmantel featuring a mirror, built-in benches, and cupboards. Many original fireplaces remain in various rooms, one of which is decorated with tiles illustrating biblical scenes. Additionally, one bedroom features a frieze painted in the early 20th century, depicting scenes from "Alice in Wonderland" in a style reminiscent of Walter Crane. The house was built for the Treasure family.
