Description
The Grange is a house dating to the 17th century, with a main block built in the early 19th century. It is located on Main Street, Long Marston. The main part of the house is brick faced with roughcast, under a slate roof with roughcast end stacks. A wing is constructed of dressed stone and rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof with brick rear lateral stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape.
The main block is three storeys high, with a symmetrical three-window front. It features a top modillioned brick cornice and windows with sills and 8/8 sashes under a gabled roof. A two-storey wing projects to the right, and contains a 20th-century glazed entrance door and a gabled brick dormer above. The coped gable end of the wing has a first-floor three-light recessed chamfered-mullioned window with a label mould. The left return has 20th-century windows on each floor. A two-storey rear wing is topped with a modillioned brick cornice, and incorporates a round-headed entrance with a doorcase featuring reeded pilasters and simple consoles to an open pediment, and a six-panelled door with four glazed panels. The rear elevation has a former rubble gable end within a larger brick gable end, and windows with three-light and two-light leaded casements with iron opening casements. A projecting lateral stack with offsets and some exposed stone is visible behind the wing, and to the left of the wing, the rear of the earlier range features a small chamfered light to the left of a former chamfered-mullioned window with a label mould; this window now has an inserted leaded casement, with part-leaded glazing above.
The right return has three segmental-headed windows with 20th-century wooden glazing, alongside a two-light pegged casement. The gable end to the right features coping and a brick end stack. It also displays a small light, a two-light single-chamfered mullioned window to the first floor, and an ashlar blind bull's eye with a rusticated surround and cornice.
Inside, the house has an early 19th-century staircase with turned newel posts. The interior was not inspected further.
