Description

Grange Farmhouse is an early 16th-century house that has been altered and extended around 1800. It features a timber-framed structure with a red brick facade on the main house, while other walls are plastered, and the roof is tiled. The building consists of four bays and has an original external chimney stack located near the middle of the rear wall, along with another chimney stack at the northwest gable. There is a single-storey extension at the southeast end, which includes a chimney stack in the southeast gable.

The farmhouse is two storeys tall, with the brick facade on the main house laid in Flemish bond, adorned with dentils at the eaves and shallow brick arches above the windows. On the ground floor, there are three sash windows from around 1800, each featuring a central light with double-hung 16-pane sashes and marginal lights with double-hung 2-pane sashes, many of which contain crown glass, including one with a bullseye. The porch is supported by slender Doric columns and dates from around 1800. The first floor has four 19th-century casement windows. Above the door, there are moulded red tiles set into the brickwork.

The extension is a single storey with an attic, plastered, and includes a plain door with an early 19th-century hood, a 20th-century casement window, and a flat-roofed dormer with a 20th-century casement window. Inside, an axial ceiling beam with double ogee mouldings is visible in one bay, although it is boxed in elsewhere, and no other framing is exposed. The crownpost roof is nearly complete in the middle bays, with some rebuilding in the end bays. The central crownpost is rectangular in section, with chamfered arrises and broach stops at the top and bottom, and features two curved axial braces to the collar-purlin, inscribed with the numbers IIII and V. Originally, the house likely had a continuous jetty at the front, but this has been underbuilt, with evidence concealed by the brick facade and interior plaster. The farmhouse was originally of high quality and has only undergone one phase of alteration.
