The Grange

The Grange is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with later additions in the late 17th century, and the late 18th and early 19th centuries, incorporating 18th, 19th, and 20th-century alterations and additions. The front range is constructed of coursed squared limestone, while the front of the stable block to the left also features this material; elsewhere, the construction is of coursed squared limestone rubble, with remnants of old render on the mid-17th century range. The roofs are slate, with 19th-century brick stacks located at the left- and right-ends of the front range, a similar brick stack at the left-end of the 17th-century wing to the left, a large axial stack on the gable of the rear of the mid-17th century block, and three 20th-century rubble stacks to the rear and on the stable block to the left. The house comprises a mid-17th century block with a late 17th-century wing to the left, a late 18th/early 19th-century front range, and 18th/19th-century wings and a stable block to the rear and left.

The front range is a two-storey, three-window composition. It has three eight/eight-pane sash windows on the first floor in plain reveals with stone sills, and two similar 2/2-, 6/6-, 2/2-pane triple sash windows on the ground floor. A central six-panel door is accessed via a Doric porch, with flush quoins defining the left and right angles. The left return facade of the late 17th-century wing to the left features one 2-light, chamfered stone mullion window with leaded lights under a hoodmould to the first floor, and flush quoins to the left angle. The stable block to the far left has two 2-light timber casements with glazing bars to the first floor, and two similar 2-light casements, a pair and a single sliding plank door, all within segmental-headed openings to the ground floor. A stone external stair leads to the first floor on the left. On the rear elevation of the mid-17th century block, there is one 4-light, hollow-chamfered stone mullion window with leaded lights under a hoodmould with a relieving arch to the ground floor right return facade; three-light timber casements with glazing bars are set in similar surrounds without hoodmoulds to the first and second floors above. There is one 2-light, hollow-chamfered stone mullion window with leaded lights to each of the ground and first floors of the rear elevation. The interior was not inspected.
