Description

A large house dating from the 15th century and later, constructed with timber framing and plaster, and originally covered with a tiled roof. The building was refronted in the 18th century, but the southern portion was heavily restored in the 1920s when the timber framing was revealed and the front returned to its original half-timbered appearance.

At the rear is a courtyard featuring jettied gables and arched doorways. The house was rented in 1736 by Isaac Taylor, the engraver and father of Jane and Ann Taylor ("Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"), for £6 per annum; the family moved to another property in 1793.

Shilling Grange has a good 18th-century plastered front with pebbledash rusticated panels and a modillion wood eaves cornice. The upper storey has two two-light leaded casements and one double-hung sash window with glazing bars; the ground storey has double-hung sashes with glazing bars. A six-panel door is protected by a fine wood doorcase with fluted pilasters and an open dentilled pediment, topped with a semi-circular fanlight with fan glazing. The north side has a blocked four-centred arch with carved spandrels.

The south part has three jettied gables on the front, and the timber framing is exposed. The upper storey is jettied across the entire front, and there is a carved beam with ribbon ornamentation. Two four-light mullioned windows are on each storey, flanked by high-level mullioned windows that extend across the whole front. A modern porch entrance is in an "old style". The south side features exposed timber framing, leaded casements, and a four-centred arched doorway with carved spandrels.

The interior includes many interesting features, including large cellars.
