The Grange And Eastfield House With Garden Wall And Garden Porch

The Grange and Eastfield House, along with its garden wall and garden porch, is a pair of houses that were originally one building, dating from the early 19th century. The exterior features rendered freestone with raised coped verges and a large block with projecting central bays and a rear wing. The structure is two storeys high with five windows.

The central three windows project and are flanked by rusticated pilasters that rise to capitals, continuing as a moulded parapet cornice. There is a central six-panel door beneath a tripartite overlight, sheltered by a heavy flat-roof porch supported by a pair of fluted Ionic timber columns, which are said to have been relocated from the parish church when the west gallery was removed around 1860. The windows are glazing bar sashes, with the left and central windows featuring timber cornices and louvred shutters. The first-floor right window has a gothick cast iron balcony, and there is a small flat leaded dormer on the right side.

The double-pitched roof is concealed behind the parapet, while the recessed bays are adorned with pilaster strips and a cornice. The glazing bar sashes in these bays have been altered to two panes and are framed by plain stone architraves, topped with a pyramidal roof. On the left return, there are two bays with late 19th-century windows featuring moulded architraves above and a flat-roof bay below. The right return has two glazing bar sash windows, one of which is blank. The rear gabled wing is two storeys high with two windows, all fitted with 20th-century casements.

The entire property is fronted by a brick garden wall approximately 30 metres long and 1 metre high, topped with cast iron spearhead railings. At each end of the wall are rusticated ashlar piers with a blocking course and pyramidal caps. In the centre, there is a flat-roof garden porch supported by four cast iron trellis work uprights, which features a four-panel door. To the right, there is an inserted 20th-century garden gate.
