The Grange

The Grange is a house dating from the 16th century. It features a substantial timber frame with close-studding and a coursed ironstone rubble plinth, finished with pebbledash render and topped by a clay tile roof. The building has an H-plan layout and stands two storeys high, with the eastern cross-wing being exceptionally tall. The north elevation of the central block has a pair of gables that project slightly. There is a variety of windows, mostly casements, with some 20th-century additions and sashes with glazing bars on the eastern elevation. The house has substantial red brick multiple stacks, with the upper parts rebuilt in the 19th century, located at the junctions between the central block and the cross-wings. There are also 19th-century one and two-storey additions to the northeast in red brick. The interior once included a wood panelled room, which was removed in 1928 and is now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
