The Grange

The Grange is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from 1664, as noted in the kitchen. It is built of random limestone rubble and has a stone slate roof with stone stacks finished in brick. The building is designed in an L-plan and consists of two storeys and an attic, featuring a five-window range. There is a flat brick arch over a six-panelled door with an overlight and reset carved consoles supporting a flat hood, which are not original. Rendered flat brick arches are present over the original two-light leaded casements, and there is a brick storey band. The roof has three gabled dormers, each with two-light leaded casements. The gabled roof has external stacks at the gable ends.

To the rear left, there is a similar two-storey, two-window range with a gabled Welsh slate roof, a brick gable end stack, and an outshut on part of the left wall. The building has a 20th-century door with a porch and 20th-century casements.

Inside, there is old elm flooring, early 19th-century four-panelled doors, and late 17th-century two-panelled bolection-moulded doors. The partition walls are timber framed. The three-unit front range features a four-centred ovolo-moulded arch over the fireplace to the left, with an early 19th-century fireplace flanked by round-headed alcoves and a 17th-century moulded plaster beam with an elaborate stop to the right. The newel stairs to the right of the central room have a late 17th-century staircase that was inserted around 1970. The back kitchen to the rear left has newel stairs, a chamfered beam, and the date 1664 inscribed on the plasterwork. The roof over the front range has a five-bay collar truss with side struts and butt purlins, while the rear has a similar three-bay roof.
