Description
Friars Grange is a house with origins dating from the early to mid 16th century, with additions from the 18th century. It was remodeled in the 19th century and altered in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame that is roughcast and weatherboarded, topped with slate roofs. The original 16th-century block is a two-bay, two-storey structure that may have been part of a larger house that has since disappeared. Attached to this is a narrower, lower, one-storey and attic, three-bay extension that was once a weatherboarded outbuilding.
The original block has a 20th-century rectangular bay window projecting from the front and features 20th-century flush frame casements. There is an inserted cross axial ridge stack on a shallow pitched 19th-century roof. To the left, there is a three-bay range with three small gables and a cross axial stack. At the rear, the original block is jettied with exposed joists and is largely underbuilt. The three-bay addition has two gables, with the right bay slightly projecting and featuring sham timber framing. The entrance is located to the left of this range, and there is a 20th-century bracketed hood over the entrance to the outbuilding on the right, which also has another entrance in its gable end.
Inside, there is a quirked wave-moulded cross axial bearer along with later chamfered axial bearers in the 16th-century bays, and exposed jowled posts of large scantling.
