Thornbury Grange

This is a house, formerly known as The Farm, likely dating back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of stone rubble with a double Roman tiled roof and Cotswold stone tiles to the stair turret. The building has a roughly L-shaped layout running north-south, with a shorter range extending east-west to the north. It is two storeys high with a concealed attic. The west elevation features three windows, with an additional window in the projecting parlour wing to the left, all with 2- and 3-light wooden casements. A 19th-century conservatory occupies the re-entrant angle. The north elevation has two low gables and a 17th-century casement window. The rear elevation, now the main entrance, includes an octagonal stair turret with a door frame featuring an ovolo-moulded surround and a depressed 4-centred arch; the door has strap hinges. A projecting stack adjoins the stair turret. A service wing, added in 1898 and now a separate property called South Grange, is not considered to be of special architectural interest and is excluded from the listing. The interior has been largely altered, but retains stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and a 4-centred arch fireplace in the main bedroom. Thornbury Grange is believed to have 16th-century origins, with the stair turret being added in the early 17th century. In 1898, a service wing was added, the front door was moved to the stair turret, and the original entrance door was replaced with a mullioned window. The building was subsequently subdivided, becoming two properties, Thornbury Grange and South Grange, by the early 1950s. The building is an interesting example of a predominantly 17th-century building with possible 16th-century origins, retaining features characteristic of its 17th-century construction and remaining relatively intact despite later 19th-century alterations.
