The Grange

The Grange is a detached house built in the later 18th century and 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar, squared and coursed rubble limestone, with plain tile and stone slate roofing to the front, and concrete tile to a wing. The house is composed of a front range with a later parallel block, and a 19th-century Tudor-style wing to the back left.

The front is symmetrical and two windows wide, with two storeys and an attic. At ground floor, there’s a large 30-pane sash window on the left and, to the right, a 12+30+12-pane flat-roofed canted bow window with sashes. The first floor has 16-pane sashes, with two 2-light small-paned gabled dormers above. A central, low-pitched gabled porch has a segmental-headed opening with a pair of margin-bar half-glazed doors, and small arched lights to the returns. The right gable, facing the road, is plain, and there are lofty ashlar gable stacks.

The back of the main block is from the mid-19th century and features a Tudor-style opening with a hood-mould, and a first-floor 3-light casement with cusping to a gable, containing a square sunk panel with a circle and a cross slit. The left return from the front has a 2-light casement above a 16-pane sash, and a door with a hood-mould to the right. The wing to the left is in a "Tudor" style, with two storeys and two windows. It features 2-light chamfer-mullion casements, as well as a 3-light casement with pointed heads to the lights, a hood-mould, and a shield beneath a six-pointed star and crown. A good 3-panel top-glazed door is set within a 4-centred head. The interior has not been inspected, but some inner shutters remain.
