The Grange Garden Walls Attached Greenhouse And Outbuildings

The Grange comprises a former rectory and possibly a manor house, with origins in the early 16th century. It was extended in the 16th century and again around 1663, and subsequently restored in a Gothick style around 1830. The building is constructed of brick with slate roofs.

The rectangular plan overlaps, at the northwest corner, with a three-bay plan belonging to an earlier house. A porch is located on the east side. The building is of two storeys and includes a single-storey lean-to garden room and greenhouse, linked to the west by garden walls.

The external elevations feature brick plinths, polygonal buttresses at external angles, "cement" string courses at first floor and eaves level, and battlemented parapets. The east facade, the main entrance front, has three bays with a central porch. A four-centred arch, rendered in Perpendicular mouldings, provides the entrance, with a 19th-century achievement displayed above it. First-floor windows are two-light casements with "Y" tracery, transoms, and Tudor arches, on three sides. Apsidal niches are located inside the entrance, to the north and south. A half-glazed Gothick entrance door features glazing bars, arched panels, a “Y” traceried fanlight with a Tudor arch. To either side of the porch are three-light casement windows with transoms and hood moulds. First-floor windows have glazing bars forming arched heads. The south-facing garden facade, of two bays divided by a shallow pier, has a bay window at the east end, and a canted bay beyond the main block at the west end, both with battlemented parapets. The western bay contains a storey-height sash with arched glazing bars. Other windows match the details of the east facade. The 19th-century garden room has a battlemented parapet ending in a turret to the west with central French casements with glazing bars and traceried heads, alongside two 2-light Gothick casement windows.

The west elevation, with three asymmetric bays, is separated by polygonal buttresses. An earlier hipped roof range, with an off-centre axial stack featuring polygonal shafts, projects at the north end. The main roof is hidden behind the parapets. 19th-century polygonal chimney stacks are present. To the west is a greenhouse against a battle-mented and turreted garden wall. Beyond the greenhouse, the garden wall has a hogback coping. Gothick gateways are located to the south and north, flanked by piers with ball finials. The northern section of the wall incorporates 17th-century brickwork. Inside the earlier range are early 16th-century roll-moulded bridging joists and wave-moulded common joists. The 19th-century interior features Gothick detailing including overdoors with a quatrefoil frieze, Gothick doors, and good joinery details to the windows. A geometric stair has square balusters and a swept handrail.
