Grange Farmhouse

Grange Farmhouse is a 16th or 17th century farmhouse of timber frame construction, with colourwashed render and a plain tiled roof, originally thatched. It has a roughly L-shaped plan and a single storey with an attic.

The front of the house features a projecting wing on the right, with brick detailing to the ground floor, where jowled wall posts are visible through the render, showing how they have been partly bricked in. It has a tripartite window on the ground floor with a central sash window featuring 2x2 panes, flanked by smaller windows of 1x2 panes. To the left of this wing, a sash window of 2x2 panes is visible, along with a flat-roofed dormer window of 3 lights. The main wing, recessed on the left, has a 19th-century porch with a hipped roof in the re-entrant angle, featuring a ½-glazed door with lower raised and fielded panels and upper glazed panes, and a lion’s mask knocker. The ground floor of the axial wing includes a plank door and a window of 5x3 panes. A 3-light first floor casement window is also present. A ridge stack with two flues rises from the main structure.

A 19th-century lean-to of Flemish bond brick extends from the left-hand side, forming a gabled extension. A lean-to outshut, with a pantile roof, is on the right-hand side and partially obscures the walling beneath, with 2 and 3-light windows. At the right end of the axial range, there is a ½-hipped roof and a four-light ground floor window alongside a first floor sash window of 3x2 panes. The rear of the house has pargeting panels below the eaves. The left-hand wall is partially rendered with a brick plinth and a 3-light casement, while the right-hand wall features a 19th-century plank door and two windows of 3 lights and 4x2 panes. Another gabled wing with corrugated iron cladding and a 2-light first floor window is also visible on the right.

Inside, the farmhouse retains chamfered ceiling beams and joists, close studded walling with angle braces on both ground and first floors. One ground floor room features a particularly large 16th-century ceiling beam with hollow chamfers. A winder staircase is also present.
