Description
Lavendon Grange is a small country house dating from around 1630, with alterations from 1722 and an extension built in 1911. The house is constructed of coursed rubble stone, with an old tiled roof, stone chimneys, and two-light dormers with hipped roofs. It has a stone coping to the gable ends. The building is two storeys and an attic.
The south front features stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds. A central gable displays a sundial dated 1722 within a triangular recess. There are two two-light windows on both the first and ground floors, along with a central stone porch constructed in 1911 using old stones and incorporating a 16th-century arch. The inner door has a moulded surround. In 1911, a right-hand gable and wing were added, matching the existing style, with three- and four-light casement windows. The other elevations are cement rendered. West and east wings connect to the north side by a single-storey range, which includes a brewhouse. The brewhouse has a 16th-century moulded oak doorframe with an arched head, and contains a large fireplace with a stone hood.
The interior is predominantly 19th-century and from 1911. The boudoir, located in the west wing, retains three walls of early 18th-century bolection moulded panelling and a later 18th-century carved wooden chimneypiece. A similar chimneypiece is found in the schoolroom in the northwest corner.
