Description
The Grange is an Early 16th-century hall house. A wing and stair tower were added in the mid 17th century, with a further wing added to the front during the same period. A later kitchen addition exists at the rear, alongside some 19th and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of rubble, with the stair tower being the exception; it is rendered. The main range has a pantiled roof with brick gable stacks, while the wing to the right features a double Roman tiled roof with crestings and a gable stack.
The original hall is located in the right-hand range, and a former screens passage leads to a service wing on the left. The left wing, now the entrance front, is two storeys high and features a ground-floor 3-light casement with ovolo mullions, with buttresses on either side and a 19th-century door with a segmental head to the right. Above, there is a 19th-century 3-light casement under the eaves. The side of the main range to the right also has a 19th-century 2-light casement. The roof pitch extends over the stair tower, which has a 2-light casement with ovolo mullions. The front wing, added in the mid 17th century, has a 20th-century window and door on its inner side, and two 2-light casements with ovolo mullions and wooden stanchions on the first floor. The front gable end of this wing is blank. The left return of this wing features a very battered wall with an owlhole in the gable end, a later brick stack, and a corner where the wall has been cut back. The right return has a 20th-century 2-light casement, a door with an ovolo-moulded frame and stone lintel, and a small 2-light casement with an ovolo mullion. The gable end of the main range has raised coped verges and a stack, alongside a 20th-century 2-pane window. The rear gable end includes two 19th-century 2-light casements with splayed stone heads at ground floor, two similar smaller casements at first floor, and a lean-to with a glazed door and a circular oven projection with a stone-tiled roof.
Inside, the main ground-floor room has a fine framed ceiling of 4x2 bays, featuring moulded beams and extending over the passage. A partition wall divides the room. There is a stone newel stair in the stair tower. The rear kitchen retains a bread oven. A room in the left wing has chamfered beams, and the fireplace has a mantel and carved surround by a former occupant, a church furnishing carver. Cupboards with strap hinges are positioned to the left and right of the fireplace. The roof is not fully visible, and one truss of the front wing's roof has an arched brace and collar. An early door connects the main range to the front wing, likely the original entrance.
