Description
Forwood Grange is a detached house located in Minchinhampton, dating from the late 17th century, with rebuilding and enlargement occurring in the mid-18th century, along with early 19th-century alterations. The exterior features roughcast rendering, ashlar chimneys, and a stone slate roof. The house is three storeys high and includes a rear outshut and outbuildings.
The east front, primarily from the mid-18th century, has a four-window arrangement, all with moulded stone architraves, keystones, and bull-nosed sills, while the ground floor features two windows with plain openings. There is a variety of 19th-century casements, many displaying marginal glazing bars in a Regency style. The central doorway has a Gibbs surround and is partly obscured by a 19th-century three-bay openwork lattice verandah, which features a Greek key fret pattern. The door itself is glazed and has colored glass margins. Above the doorway is a central round arched niche with a triple keystone, moulded architrave, imposts, and a bracketed sill. The building is topped with a moulded parapet cornice that forms a low-pitched central pediment with a keyed oculus, and there is a blocking course above. The gable end chimneys have moulded caps.
At the rear, there is an outshut with a catslide roof and later infill that connects to the outbuildings. A 20th-century porch addition is located at the north end. Although the interior was not inspected, it is reported to be in the Regency style, featuring reeded doorcases and fireplaces. The dining room is noted for having good contemporary cornices, with windows that include colored glass paterae.
