Description

Grange Cottage is a house located on Blewbury Road in East Hagbourne, dating from the mid-17th century, with a refronting in the early 18th century and extensions added in the mid-18th century. The structure is built of red brick, featuring red brick with grey brick headers in Flemish bond on the left and right sides, topped with an old plain-tile roof. It has a red brick stack at the right end and a grey brick stack with red brick dressings at the left end. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has a five-window range.

The central entrance features an 18th-century two-panel door surrounded by a painted wood eared architrave and a flat hood supported by moulded and carved brackets. The windows are wood cross-windows with leaded lights, and the ground floor windows have cambered flat arches made of rubbed bricks. There is a moulded brick band between the ground and first floors, and two cross-gables adorned with banded fishscale tile-hanging and two-light leaded casements.

On the left side of the house, there are two blind windows on the ground floor with cambered flat arches of rubbed brick, and a shaped brick band between the ground and first floors. The first floor also has two blind windows with similar cambered flat arches and moulded cornices. The rear of the house reveals some visible timber-framing.

Inside, there is a straight flight staircase and an ovolo moulded spine beam in the ground floor right room. The ground floor left and right rooms feature 18th-century fielded panelling, which was installed around 1940 from a house in London, and includes niches with half-domes and shaped shelves.
