Description

Stambourne Grange is a house dating from the late 17th century, with extensions and alterations made in the 19th century. The building features a combination of timber framing and plaster, along with red brick in Flemish bond, and is roofed with handmade red clay tiles. It has an H-plan layout, with the main elevation facing northeast.

The house has two axial chimney stacks symmetrically positioned in the main range, as well as one external stack on the southeast wall. At the rear of the main range, there is a two-storey parallel range added in the 19th century, along with a single-storey extension to the rear of the northwest wing from the 19th century, and a 20th-century extension to the northwest of that.

The northeast elevation features a central door with six fielded panels, framed by a simple doorcase with a hood supported by scrolled brackets. There are two double-hung sash windows with 12 lights, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, along with two French windows from the 19th century. On the first floor, there are four double-hung sash windows with 12 lights, also from the late 18th or early 19th century, and a multi-pane sash window with a round head and some coloured glass above the door, dating from the 19th century.

In the attics, there are three casement windows with nine lights, with the middle window set in a gabled dormer featuring fretted bargeboards, from the 19th century. The gables have cusped and fretted bargeboards, also from the 19th century. Some of the sash windows, particularly on the first floor of the front elevation and the rear elevation of the southeast crosswing, contain crown glass. Additionally, on the side wall of the northwest crosswing at first-floor level, there is one horizontally-sliding sash window with 18 lights, dating from the 19th century.
