Numbers 1 And 2 The Grange

Numbers 1 and 2 The Grange are a detached house, now divided into two cottages, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with renovations and subdivision in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of dressed limestone, incorporating some timber framing to the first floor, and has a tiled roof with brick stacks. It presents a gabled end to the street, forming an L-shaped layout.

The east front, two stories and an attic in height, has four windows. Two 20th-century glazed doors provide access, with two three-light casement windows to the right and one inserted into a blocked door. The first floor features a lunette window and a single casement in timber framing to the left, alongside a two-light casement and an elliptically-arched window with a fanlight to the right. Two 19th-century gabled dormers are positioned in the attic. A projecting wing to the left has two latticed casement windows to both the ground and first floors. The right return has a three-light chamfered mullioned window to the ground floor and a gabled dormer to the attic. The street-facing gable of this return has a recessed two-light chamfered mullioned window to the first floor, and a casement window within a tile-hung attic.

The rear elevation is likely the former front, also two stories and an attic in height with three windows. To the left is a fixed window and a two-light chamfered mullioned window; centrally, there is a blocked door and a two-light chamfered mullioned window. The first floor features a two-light mullioned window, and a timber-framed central section with a two-light casement. To the right of a straight joint is a late 17th-century wing, incorporating a basement and attic. This wing has three-light casements to the basement, ground and first floors, all with relieving arches. The attic features a two-light casement with a stone tablet incised with “AWM / 1677”. The left return of this wing, from the front, has a conservatory attached to the ground floor, featuring half-glazed doors to the left and right, and a three-light chamfered mullioned window to both the ground and first floors.

Inside, the south wing has chamfered beams with ogee stops, while the main range has chamfered beams with run-out stops. The north range retains original oak panelled doors with strap hinges. The timber-framed first floor has mostly renewed timbers. Initials on the southwest gable refer to the Woodville family.
