Norney Grange

Norney Grange is a house dating to 1897, designed by C.A. Voysey for the Reverend W. Leighton Grane, and extended in 1903 for J.W. Wainwright. The house is constructed of roughcast with yellow limestone dressings, and has hipped slate roofs. It has a long rectangular plan with a service wing to the right.

The building is two storeys and has an attic in the gable to the left end, with two storeys to the centre and right, and a single storey to the right-hand end. A half-H shaped section extends to the right, featuring a recessed centre and projecting, battered, and buttressed gable bays at each end. The left-hand gable is jettied on stone brackets. A rendered stack with a half-domed hood over a bell is positioned centrally to the front, and a massive offset stack sits to the left end on a plinth with quadrant sections flanking the shaft. The windows are stone-dressed and leaded. There are three "breathers" in the gable apex. A 6-light round bay window rises through both floors. To the right hand gable are two "breathers" with stone-dressed casements, two on the first floor and three below. A 4-light window is located to the left of the centre, and a taller 4-light mullioned and transomed window is situated to the right of the centre in the recessed range. Smaller, double-gabled bays extend to the right, with stacks at each end. The first floor of each gable has a window under a tiled pentice hood, and there are two ground floor casements to the left and a 6-light ground floor window to the right, continuing under the cornice into the single-storey range to the right end, creating a flat-roofed eaves dormer window. A stone projecting entrance porch is situated in the centre of the recessed bay, featuring an open segmental pediment over a large leaded oculus. Piers flank the porch, with rounded corners forming a D shape on the ground floor, incorporating niches and windows to the sides. The double studded doors have strapwork decoration. Original drains feature curious billeted crenellations on the hoppers.

The garden front displays jettied gable ends with battering buttresses and round bay windows. A triple-gabled range is set back to the left end.

Inside, many original features remain. The entrance hall is wood-panelled with a half-domed ceiling and a gallery landing to the rear, with a square railed balustrade projecting in a shallow bow to the centre. Original ventilation grilles in the form of "birds and trees," and heart-shaped keyholes are on the doors. The panelled library has a marble fireplace with original copper and brass surrounds decorated with flower motifs. A green marble chimney breast is located in the end room to the left, and numerous other interior fittings remain intact.
