Description
The Grange is a house dating from the 17th century, significantly altered and refaced around 1750, with further changes in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of rubble with rough cast stone dressings, and has a double Roman tiled roof with coped verges and brick gable stacks, alongside a pantiled roof to a 19th-century lower rear wing. The house is arranged in an L-shape with later additions.
The garden front presents a two-storey, five-window facade. All windows are 19th-century two-pane sashes set within moulded architraves with keystones. A central panelled and glazed door is framed by a moulded architrave with a triple keystone and a pediment supported by brackets; the cornice returns slightly on either side. A conservatory has been added to the south side. The north side features a round-headed stair window on the first floor with intersecting Gothic glazing bars and a sash window in a revealed box. Irregular 19th-century windows and 20th-century doors are also present. The south side, facing the road, displays a gable end of an 18th-century block, with two storeys and three windows – all 19th-century four-pane sashes in plain reveals with cills. A porch is located on the right, featuring 20th-century double outer doors and an inner fielded and panelled door with a transom light with fan glazing bars.
Inside, original shutters and dado panelling remain, and there is a cellar beneath part of the building.
