Description
Grange Cottage is an 18th-century house, originally part of a pair. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble. The roof is tiled, with banded old clay plain and fishscale tiles on Grange Cottage and a concrete pantile roof on the adjoining property. A central red brick chimney stack rises from the ridge of the building, with further gable end stacks present. The north elevation has two bays per house. The first floor features four two-light leaded casement windows. The ground floor has a central doorway with a pedimented doorhood supported by brackets and flanked by timber pilasters with padstones. The doorway to the adjacent property is flanked by 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars. Grange Cottage has a three-light leaded casement window with a high-level transom on its right-hand side and a shallower three-light leaded casement window on its left-hand side.
