Description

The Grange is a house that was formerly a rectory, built in the late 18th century and refurbished and enlarged in the mid 19th century. It features plastered rubble construction with rubble stacks and 19th-century brick chimney shafts, topped with a slate roof that has some crested ridge tiles. The building has an F-shaped layout, with the main range facing south. The older part on the left (west) side includes an entrance hall and a room, with a service block extending at right angles to the rear. The mid-19th century section on the right (east) consists of two rooms and a stair block at the back of the left room. There are end stacks for the service wing, a rear lateral stack for the left end room, and end stacks for the mid-19th century section.

The house is two storeys tall, and its irregular frontage reflects the different building phases, with the older left side being lower. The front has two windows, featuring mid-19th century to early 20th century casements on the first floor and late 19th century French windows on the ground floor to the left. The front door is located to the right; it is a part-glazed panelled door with a patterned lower panel, flanked by sidelights, and is sheltered by a flat-roofed timber porch supported by plain square-section posts, with a dentil cornice and moulded entablature. The roof is hipped to the left and has red crested ridge tiles. The mid-19th century section on the right has a regular four-window front, with ground floor 12-pane sashes and tall first floor casements with glazing bars, all featuring flat stucco architraves and flanked by stucco quoins. The rear elevations have late 19th century casements, while the stair turret has a round-headed sash with glazing bars. The interior mainly showcases mid-19th century plasterwork and joinery.
