Washern Grange

Washern Grange is a historic building said to date from around 1632-1635, which involved the rebuilding of an earlier stable block and the incorporation of a 14th-century barn that likely belonged to the nearby Abbey. The west range was partly demolished in the 18th century. The overall design is attributed to the de Caux brothers from the 1630s. The structure is built of brick with stone dressings, including plinths, architraves, keys, quoins, and coping, arranged in English bond.

On the north front, there are two-bay end pavilions featuring balustraded parapets and bull's-eye windows above bar and transom casements, most of which have lead glazing. These pavilions are connected by a set-back seven-bay arcade on banded piers, which is now mostly blind except for a central entrance and four smaller openings. Above the arcade, there is a band and parapet with six blind oculi above the spandrels, and a medallion motif is repeated inside the courtyard, except over the west range, which has been demolished but retains the arcade. A modern cottage is located in the north-west corner.

The south side includes a projecting coach-house with a wide arched entrance and blind oculi in the spandrels, as well as an open pediment treatment to the gable. To the left of the coach-house, there is a mounting block. The south projection features stone and flint chequerwork along with a brick block cornice.

The medieval barn forms the east range, which has an eight-bay arcade in pairs supported by three weathered stone buttresses. There are four doors, with the centre left door being a good example of panelled doors with curved upper panels. The structure features stone imposts, keys, and open oculi to the parapet, along with four rainwater pipes that have lead lions' heads. The roof is tiled, with a coped verge to the north and a twisted and warped gable end to the south. The east side has six buttresses.

Inside, the building has a single span roof, with some features likely dating from the 18th century, such as mangers, stone-lined walls, and a pitched brick floor.
