The Grange

The Grange is an 18th-century house with later alterations, situated on a substantial plot set back from the road. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and extends over three storeys. The original western wing features three sash windows with stone keyblocks and lintels, including tripartite windows on the ground floor. A central doorcase with side lights is complemented by an early 19th-century verandah supported by slender pillars. The eastern half of the house, also from the early 19th century, includes a gabled bay with a polygonal bay window above an iron verandah and balcony. A Venetian window with stone pilasters and a blind tympanum is positioned to the right, alongside a large, single-storey polygonal conservatory on the east side. The building has moulded stone eaves, a blocking course, and a half-hipped slate roof. The west elevation showcases a doorway with an ornate iron portico dating back to approximately 1830. The interior displays a Queen Anne revival and "Adam" style, dating to around 1932, featuring early 19th-century columns for the hall arch, which incorporates a glazed dome illuminating the stairwell. The early 19th-century work is likely attributable to William Alexander Provis, Telford’s chief engineer, who acquired the property in 1830.
