Dodecote Grange

A farmhouse dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with minor additions made in the mid- to late-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick with a hipped slate roof featuring sprocketed eaves. It has a U-shaped plan and extends over two storeys with an attic. The house includes a plinth, a dentil brick eaves cornice (with bricks laid on their ends), and a central gabled eaves dormer with a horizontal-sliding glazing bar sash window. A brick ridge stack is located off-centre to the right, and another sits on a rear wing to the left. The southwest-facing front (facing the garden) has three bays, featuring three-pane segmental-headed wooden casement windows. A pair of 20th-century French casements are on the right. There is a one-bay addition to the right, with a parapet and two-light segmental-headed wooden casement windows on each floor. A lower, two-storey hipped-roofed addition is further to the right, alongside a late-20th-century glazed lean-to addition in front. The left-hand return front also features a central gabled eaves dormer with a horizontal-sliding glazing bar sash. A segmental-headed small-pane cross window is on the first floor, and a two-light segmental-headed small-pane wooden casement is on the ground floor. A set of four steps leads to a pair of half-glazed doors with an early-19th-century flat-roofed wooden porch, featuring cast side panels and a cornice. There are two gabled wings at the rear, as well as a gabled recessed section with segmental-headed small-pane wooden cross windows. The interior showcases a late-18th-century staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, and square newel posts, along with doors with H-hinges. The plan form of the house is considered particularly notable. According to a report from March 1986, a now-demolished barn on the farm was dated 1772.
