Description
Grange Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid 16th century, with alterations made around 1700 and in the mid 19th century. It features a central hall range flanked by two cross-wings, making it a complex structure with several phases of construction. The building is two storeys tall, constructed with a timber frame and rough-cast exterior, and has plaintiled roofs with central and end chimneys made of gault brick. The windows are mainly 3-light casements from the 19th century. There is a 19th-century, one-storey flat-roofed entrance porch that has a wooden entablature and a four-panelled entrance door.
To the left of the central chimney, there is a 16th-century hall with a contemporary service cross-wing, both of which have well-preserved wind-braced clasped-purlin roofs and signs of unglazed mullioned windows. The hall range was extended to the right in the early 18th century, and the roof of this section is made with pine rafters that were repurposed from a medieval coupled-rafter roof. The right-hand wing was added during the mid 19th century. This site was originally the Grange of Barton Parva, which was held by St Edmunds Abbey from the 13th century until the Dissolution.
