Description

The Grange is a house dating from around 1400, featuring a timber frame with large panels and plaster infill. It has a thatched roof with a pantiled outshot at the rear. The building follows an end jettied hall house plan with four framed bays and stands two storeys high on a flint base, which shows evidence of underbuilt end jetties supported by brackets. The roof is hipped, with stacks located to the centre right and end right, and the flint base is complemented by a brick outshot.

On the first floor, there are four wooden casements, while the ground floor has three casements and a large oriel-style window, all dating from the 20th century. The entrance features a central rib and stud door set within a four-centred arched surround, flanked by sidelights. Inside, the roof consists of collared rafters without longitudinal members, and the rear outshot conceals the lower half of a mullioned hall window.
