Lower Grange

Lower Grange is a house dating from the mid-15th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 19th centuries. It features a mixture of rubble stone and brick for the plinth, large timber framing with rendered infill, and an old plain-tile roof. The house has a brick end stack on the left and a massive stone lateral stack at the rear center. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a six-bay, six-window range. A 20th-century glazed door leads to a 17th-century timber-framed gabled porch at the center. The windows exhibit irregular fenestration, primarily consisting of late 19th-century casements. There is a raking dormer with four lights to the left of center. At the rear, a plank door is located to the left of center, and there is a central lateral stone stack made of uncoursed squared stone with flint garreting. To the right, a nine-light wood mullion and transom window is present, along with two four-light wood mullion and transom windows projecting on coved wood lintels on the first floor to the left. The first floor to the right has 19th-century casements inserted in the remains of two similar windows.

Inside, there is a 17th-century open-well newel stair that connects the ground and first floors, featuring a wooden baluster balustrade, a moulded handrail, and turned acorn finials on the newels. A straight flight of stairs leads from the first floor to the attic. The roof has an arch-braced collar-truss design with two rows of windbraces. A massive open fireplace is located in the center of the ground floor, while a stone Tudor-arched fireplace with a moulded surround is found on the left side of the ground floor. The spine beams are supported by angle bracing.
