Description
The Grange is a house that was once a convent, featuring a mid-18th century refurbishment of a 17th century or earlier timber-framed structure. Around 1960, a red brick front in Georgian style replaced the original elevation. The building has a triple-pile machine tile mansard roof with a parapet and five segmental headed flush sash windows. The entrance features a Doric style doorcase. The south elevation is roughcast, with a two-storey Regency bow on the west side that is weatherboarded. Inside, there is a richly decorated Ionic style entrance hall with modillions and pilasters that lead to a rear central staircase hall, which has three iron twist balusters on each tread. A Venetian window with detached Doric columns is located on the first floor landing, and the original front door has eight small fielded panels. There are plain two-storey extensions on the right side, with one and two windows, set back from the front.
Local climate
The Grange sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
