Description
The Grange is a house that likely originated in the 17th century, although much of its structure is from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is built of red brick and features a steeply-pitched roof covered with corrugated clay tiles. The house has two storeys and attics, arranged in a double-pile plan.
The south facade consists of two sections, with the eastern range having three bays and 2½ storeys. It displays three shaped attic gables with brick copings. The windows are ovolo-moulded casements with transoms, featuring three lights on the ground and first floors, and two lights in the attics. These windows are set within stuccoed chamfered surrounds. The central entrance bay is adorned with stucco embellishments, including a pilastered door surround with a keyed semicircular arch and a two-leaf half-glazed door. Above, the first-floor window is framed by a pedimented surround with large side-scrolls and a pulvinated frieze. A moulded string course runs below the first-floor windows, and the eaves are decorated with brick dentils.
An off-centre ridge chimney stack is located to the east of the entrance. The west range has a slightly higher eaves line and features diaper-patterning in the brickwork where the two builds meet. There is a central two-storey projection with a Dutch gable and pedimented windows. The double crow-stepped gables on the west side include one that is likely from the 17th century. The first floor has two cross-casements with pedimented surrounds, and the ground floor features a bay window with a hipped plain tiled roof. Three chimney stacks are situated in the valley between the two piles, each with dentilled and moulded caps.
To the north, there is a 19th-century gabled two-storey range that includes a stair turret with a stepped gable in the northeast corner. Inside, the house contains an 18th-century staircase with twisted balusters.
