Description
Dummer Grange is a building from the 17th century with early 20th-century alterations. It is located on the site of a grange of Waverley Abbey and has an H-plan layout with a central projecting porch, presenting a near-symmetrical appearance. The building has two storeys and an attic, topped with old tile roofing.
On the main front, which faces southeast, the south side wing features an original red brick gable with cut brick forms and mouldings. At the top of this gable is an escutcheon, followed by a moulded and dentilled band above an attic window, which is a two-light old leaded casement. The eaves level has a moulded and dentilled cornice supported by Ionic pilasters with moulded bases on either side. There is a first-floor band, rubbed flat arches on the ground floor, and a plinth.
The north side wing is similar in style but is a modern addition with a ground-floor bay. The two-storey porch, added in the 1920s, mirrors the design of the wings and features a rusticated opening. The recessed areas of the front are constructed in old brickwork using English bond, lacking the band, and include a mullion and transom window on the south side.
The southwest face of the building has three windows and plain pilasters, while the northwest gable of the south wing resembles the front but does not have pilasters. The building includes shafted stacks and solid wood casement frames with leaded lights. Inside, there is some 17th-century panelling. The northeast part of the house, which is early 20th-century, is set back and employs traditional forms and materials, featuring hipped roofing and dormers.
