Description
White House and Grange Fell is a pair of dwellings built in 1901 by Henry Dare Bryan. The buildings are roughcast over brick and feature gabled and hipped tile roofs with original rainwater goods and roughcast stacks. They have a longitudinal plan with one dwelling at each end and are designed in the Arts and Crafts style, standing two storeys high with attics and a five-window range.
The wood-mullioned windows have up to four lights and include original shutters and iron catches for the rectangular leaded casements. The roof is swept, with moulded guttering above two square bay windows on the left side. The broad overhanging eaves extend beneath a flat-roofed dormer on the left, which has plain pilasters and a moulded cornice. To the right, tall M-shaped gabled dormers sit above two-storey canted bays that include a central doorway.
The other elevations are similarly styled, particularly the gable ends, where the eaves wrap around each gable. The right gable features a gablet flanked by stacks, while the left gable has a canted oriel window and a doorway with a decorative bracketed hood in an early 18th-century style.
Inside, the dwellings retain panelled doors with moulded architraves, moulded cornices, and fireplaces in classical and Art Nouveau styles. The White House on the left has pierced Art Nouveau splat balusters on the staircase and a strapwork ceiling in the rear left room. Service doors have flat cornicing, and the pantry includes original shelves. Grange Fell is noted for its complete interior and grained vaulting in the entrance hall. This pair of houses is a good example of the Arts and Crafts movement, clearly influenced by the work of C F A Voysey.
