Haregrove

Haregrove is a detached house that dates back to the late 15th century, with rebuilding that occurred around 1810. The structure is made of random and coursed rubble limestone, featuring ashlar and brick rebuilt chimneys, and has roofs made of artificial stone and Welsh slate. It is two stories tall.

The south end of the house was rebuilt in the 19th century and has a three-window arrangement, all with 12-pane sash windows of varying sizes. There is a central doorway with double small-paned glazed doors and a cobweb fanlight above. The roof is hipped.

On the east side, the building was rebuilt on earlier random rubble base walls to the left, with a single 12-pane sash window on each floor, both having timber lintels. To the right, there is a stone pointed arched doorway that is now blocked, with the original gable end indicated by quoins above. The remaining part of this elevation represents the main section of the 15th-century house, featuring a 19th-century restored three-light chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor with a hoodmould, and a two-light window with a hood on the upper floor. The fenestration to the right has been altered to include one sash window per floor. There is a raking buttress in the right corner and a gable-mounted chimney with a chamfered cap at the north end.

The west side includes a right part that was rebuilt, incorporating some earlier masonry, particularly a tapering projection below a rebuilt eaves-mounted chimney. The left part retains mullioned windows on the ground floor and has two 20th-century roof dormers.

Inside, the main room of the original house features a large fireplace with intricately carved chamfered stone jambs, displaying cusped lancet panels and circular rose motifs arranged in a haphazard manner. The ceiling is heavily beamed. Historically, the house was likely owned by Gloucester Abbey, which controlled much of Cranham parish. The carved fireplace jambs may have been created by visiting monks, suggesting the building could have served as a retreat.
