Description
The Grange is a large house, built in 1902 by J. Belcher, and later sub-divided into flats. It is constructed of purple-brown brick with red brick angle quoins and dressings, and has plain-tiled roofs, some of which have been renewed and are hipped. The building has an asymmetrical design, approximately four bays wide.
It has two stories and attic space on the left side, and a single story with attics on the right. The right side features a thick, modillioned eaves cornice and stacks, all set against a stone-coped edge. There are a flat-roofed dormer to the left and two flat-roofed dormers to the right. On the ground floor to the right are two mullioned and transomed casement windows, each with a gauged-brick head, while a narrower mullioned and transomed casement window sits to the left. A projecting two-story entrance bay is set to the left of centre, with one side canted and the other at a right angle to the front. The gable over the cornice is shaped and features red brick newels under stone coping, along with a stone panel and cartouche with flanking columns in the tympanum. The first floor of the porch has a casement window under a gauged-brick head, and a brick-edged roundel window is placed below. A single-light window is present on each floor of the canted angle to the left. The front door, on the ground floor to the left of centre, is sheltered by a massive shell hood supported by scrolled foliage brackets and covered with ribbed lead. A frieze across the hood is inscribed with the words "The blessings of God be herein".
The left return front, which faces the garden, features two flat-roofed dormers and a canted bay window on the ground floor. A large, tile-hung dormer, with wooden balcony railing, is located to the left. The right return front, facing the street, has an irregular design with an M-shaped gable bisected by a stack to the right, and a semi-circular dormer to the left.
Inside, the entrance hall has a coved ceiling and fielded panels on the doors. A central newel staircase has a pierced splat-balustrade and keystoned arcades.
