The Grange

The Grange is a farmhouse from the 17th or 18th century that was enlarged with wings to become a Gothic-style villa in 1820, with some later 19th-century alterations. The building has two storeys and is constructed of stone rubble. The centre features two lower storeys with a gabled break that has bargeboarding. It includes stone mullioned and transomed windows, and a mid-19th-century rectangular bay window on the left side with a gabled dormer above. The taller gabled wings have two-storey canted bays, and the right wing has a tall, narrow, gabled link at the centre. The steeply pitched slate roof is topped with grouped, diagonally set red brick chimneys. On the entrance side, there are two gables, with the right gable above a stone oriel that has a pointed tiled roof. There is also a large, bargeboarded gabled wooden porch from the later 19th century. The house is picturesque and was the residence of the Watney-Combe family in the 19th century.
