Description
Bourton Grange is a house that has been converted into an office. It features a datestone on the finial indicating it was built by John Tucker in 1847. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a double-depth plan measuring four by two bays, with a central staircase. The structure is two stories tall with an attic and has a four-window range. The facade is designed with a three-to-one ratio, featuring a recessed bay that aligns with the service range.
There are steps leading up to a six-panelled door, which is set beneath a four-centered arch that has a hood mould with ballflower terminals above. The door is flanked by two rectangular bays, which include blind panel strips and lunettes. The windows are four-light, with moulded mullions and transoms, and the hood moulds also have ballflower terminals. The original rainwater goods are still in place. The facade is topped with three Dutch gables that have moulded kneelers and a round window, along with ridge stacks.
Inside, the building retains original panelled doors and a straight-flight open-string staircase with moulded balusters. To the right of the facade is the service range, which is also made of limestone ashlar and has a three-window range with a flat roof. In front of the house, there is a late 20th-century iron rail connected by stone circular piers topped with ball finials.
John Turner, the builder of Bourton Grange, also constructed six almshouses near Pinewood and contributed to the rebuilding of the local school. The Tucker family was instrumental in the development of much of Bourton during the 1840s and 1850s, including Pinewood, the Church of St. James, and the Baptist chapel, as noted in Kelly's Directory from 1897.
