Description
Pembury Grange is a large asymmetrical house built in 1869. It was designed by George Devey for Neville Ward, whose father had laid out the Calverley Park estate. The house is constructed of red brick with a black diaper pattern on the ground floor and tile hanging on the upper floors, which are also rendered in roughcast on brick with a diaper pattern, and features half-timbering. It is two storeys high with attics, and has four gables with decorative bargeboards. The front elevation has five altered windows and a terracotta date plaque. A wooden porch, with a coved cornice supported on six piers, extends across the front. A one-storey kitchen wing of red brick with a diaper pattern is located to the left, featuring a projecting, half-conical bread oven. The roof is tiled with clustered chimney stacks. The rear elevation includes a one-storey service wing, which is partially obscured by a red brick wall on the garden side; this wall incorporates a recessed garden seat. Internally, the house retains fittings of the period, including a wooden staircase with turned balusters, late 19th-century wooden fireplaces with half columns and tiled surrounds, some dado panelling, and eight-panelled doors.
