Whiteley Grange

Whiteley Grange is a farmhouse built around 1667, with significant later additions and alterations. It features red brick construction and a low-pitched hipped slate roof. The building has a tall rectangular shape, measuring three bays by two bays, with additional structures added at right angles on the right side and to the rear, dating from the mid-19th century and circa 1930, respectively.

The farmhouse has three storeys and an attic, as well as cellars. A continuous toothed band runs along the second floor, and there is a moulded brick band above it. The original windows and openings have been altered; they now include mid-19th century casements and late 20th century aluminium-framed sashes with segmental heads inserted in various locations. The original entrance, slightly to the right of the centre, is now blocked and has a mid-19th century addition adjacent to it. This addition features a moulded cambered stone arch with a dripstone and quoins, along with a damaged armorial shield dated 1667 at the centre. The main entrance is now located in the left-hand return and consists of a half-glazed door with a bracketed hood. There is a tall external lateral stack at the rear on the right and a subsidiary central stack in the roof slope at the front.

Inside, the most notable feature is the impressive staircase, which is dated "W.O.M./1667" on the newel at the half-landing between the ground and first floors. This staircase leads from the cellar to the second floor and has a broad moulded handrail with deeply parallel rectangular-shaped balusters, along with elaborately carved newels that display various motifs, including heart shapes and nailhead ornament. The right-hand ground floor room features good panelling with a fluted frieze and inset cupboards with cock's head hinges, and similar panelling can be found in the first-floor room above. The brick-walled cellar, which was formerly a kitchen, contains a blocked fireplace with a wide segmental arch and a moulded stone overmantel. The house was once surrounded by a moat, but now only remnants of a bank can be seen in the garden to the north.
