Description
The Grange is a house incorporating an early 17th-century range, dated and initialled J.R. K.R. / 1639 (a reference to the monuments of John and Katherine Roberts in Woolstone Church). Further ranges were added in the 18th century and the late 18th to early 19th century. The construction materials are primarily of coursed squared and dressed limestone with dressed stone quoins and brick, with stone slate and slate roofs. Ashlar stacks are also present.
The original, rectangular 17th-century range has been partially rebuilt and extended by a late 18th to early 19th-century range attached to its west gable end. A further 18th-century service wing extends at a right angle to the 17th-century range, on the rear right. The late 18th to early 19th-century range was extended to the rear in the mid to late 19th century. The 17th and 18th-century range is a single storey with an attic, whilst the late 18th to early 19th-century range is two storeys with an attic and a cellar. The 17th-century range features a three-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood. A partly blocked door has a plain dressed stone architrave. A single-light, 20th-century dormer with hanging slate and a steel casement is present, along with a similar two-light dormer to the right. A three-light stone-mullioned casement is visible at the right gable end, with a similar two-light stone-mullioned casement above, and a blocked two-light casement in the attic, all with stopped hoods. The original ground floor casements exhibit hollow mouldings to their outer surface and stepped mouldings to their inner surface, and appear to have had their sills lowered. The symmetrical entrance front of the late 18th to early 19th century range features four sixteen-pane sashes with dressed stone architraves to the ground floor, three matching sashes to the first floor, and a central six-pane front door with four fielded and two flush panels, surrounded by dressed stone pilasters, a rectangular hall light with geometric glazing, and a fine reeded decoration, topped by an open stone pediment supported by moulded stone brackets. A parapet with a moulded cornice is also present. Two 20th-century two-light segmental-headed dormers flank a segmental-headed single-light dormer. A blind sash window, painted to imitate a window and featuring a painted ginger cat, is at the west gable end. The rear wall was extended and rebuilt in brick in the 19th century. The 18th-century service range has a two-light casement, a four-light casement with glazing bars and a dressed stone lintel with a keystone, two roof dormers, and a central 18th-century door with flush panels, two of which are glazed. Gable-end and axial stacks have moulded cappings. The 17th-century range has flat coping and a roll-cross saddle at its gable end. Inside, a dogleg staircase features stick balusters and circular newels, with decorative brackets at the end of each riser. A late 18th to early 19th-century fireplace features unusually narrow reeded decoration, while another downstairs room contains a Regency moulded marble fireplace with roundels above to the upper right and left.
