Description

The Grange is a former rectory that has been converted into flats. It dates from the early to mid-19th century and may have been a remodelling of an earlier house. The building was originally stuccoed, but the stucco has been removed except for the ground floor of the front elevation, revealing rough stone rubble, brick quoins, and brick arches around the windows. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, concealed by a parapet above a cornice on the front elevation, with rendered stacks.

The Grange has a deep rectangular plan and originally featured two rooms wide, with a central entrance leading into a passage and a large stair hall behind it. Service rooms are located in a rear wing that is roofed at right angles to the main range. The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical six-bay front. The front door is located in the fourth bay from the left. There are six 12-pane sash windows with shutters on the first floor, and 12-pane sash windows on the ground floor. The front door is a two-leaf, panelled design, with some panels replaced with glazing.

A notable feature is the fine eight-bay timber trellis verandah, which has one-bay returns and round-headed arches with wrought iron spandrels. The two centre bays of the verandah are broken forward and feature carved timber spandrels in an Art Nouveau style. The left return of the main block has a 20th-century door and two first-floor and one ground-floor 12-pane sashes, with shutters on the first-floor windows. The service wing to the left has four bays with a mix of timber sashes and 20th-century windows. The right return has five first-floor 12-pane sashes (some with shutters) and two similar ground-floor sashes, with a third window converted into a door.

The interior has not been thoroughly inspected, but some 19th-century joinery remains, and the stair hall retains a complete stick baluster stair.
