Description
The Grange is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century. It has two storeys and a basic three-cell plan, now forming an L-shape. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with plain tiled roofs featuring ornamental 19th-century ridge tiles and barge boards. An internal chimney stack has four attached narrow hexagonal shafts with corbelled-out heads, set on a base that is partly embedded into the slope of the roof, which may have been raised.
On the west side, there is a single-storey canted bay window, while the remaining windows are small-paned sashes in flush frames. The upper storey features three pitched gablets with ornamental barge boards. The central door is adorned with an ornate late 19th-century timber porch in lattice work. At the rear, there is a long two-storey range with a single-storey pantiled extension along its east side.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
