The Grange

The Grange is a house with a probable core from the 16th century. The facade and left-hand gable end were reconstructed in the 18th century, as indicated by a stone tablet inscribed 'C' over 'JM' dated 1740, referring to John and Mary Clarke. A two-span addition was built in the early 19th century, projecting forward to the right, along with a further range to the rear. The original structure was timber-framed, largely rebuilt in red brick, with a chequer pattern of dark brick headers used on the facade and left-hand gable end. The roof is covered in glazed black pantiles.

The house is two storeys high with attics to the main range. The facade has four windows, featuring original flush-frame sash windows with heavy glazing bars set under flat brick arches. A lobby entrance has a six-panel door, panelled reveals, and an original doorcase with pilasters, an entablature, and a modillion cornice. A brick band runs along the first floor. Internal brick stacks with two tall 19th-century flues arranged in a diamond pattern are present; similar stacks are at the right-hand gable end and in the later addition. The left-hand gable end displays a doorcase with pilasters, an entablature, a dentil cornice, an eaves brick band, and a square-leaded cross window in the attic.

At the rear, further brickwork and a datestone inscribed 'C' over 'IA' dated 1786, for John and Anna Clarke, are visible. The front addition has sash windows with slender glazing bars under cambered arches. The interior has been significantly altered. Some chamfered joists and fragments of timber framing remain on the ground floor, and evidence of a diamond-mullioned window on the right-hand gable end suggests a slight extension to accommodate the gable end stack. A 18th-century fireplace with eared marble is in the left-hand ground floor room.
