LITTLE TEW The Grange

II Vicarage, now house. c.1858 for Revd. F. Garrett by G.E Street, extended 1869 by C. Buckeridge and 1880 by E. Bruton. Coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings; Stonesfield-slate and plain-tile roofs with stone stacks.

Complex Z-shaped plan. Gothic style. Two storeys and two storeys plus attic. Entrance front has a central stone porch, a canted bay window to left, and has to right a gable above a trefoil-headed mullion- and -transom first-floor window. The higher range projecting from the right is a later addition and has a turret in the angle capped by a timber-framed second-floor studio with an octagonal pyramid roof. The four-window garden front, returning to left, has a projecting gabled bay to right, a two-storey canted bay window to left, and includes two other gables and a large buttressed stack; several first-floor windows have trefoiled heads and most windows have transoms. Probably all is by Street except for the gabled verandah and the ashlar conservatory, set back to left, which were early C20 additions. A further parallel rear range projects to left.

Interior: hall has pointed stone arches and a glass dome. Single-storey wing at rear now contains a private theatre.
