The Grange

The Grange is a house built in 1865 for the Griffiths family. It features squared and coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and has gabled plain tile roofs adorned with tile crestings and bargeboards. The house has ashlar ridge stacks topped with rendered octagonal flues and is designed in the Gothic Revival style with an L-plan and a rear left wing.

The front elevation faces east and is two stories high with an attic, featuring a triple-gabled design and a five-window range. The central gabled bay includes an ironstone tympanum arch over a pointed-arched two-light attic window, a canted oriel window with leaded lights, stone mullions, and a transom. Above the moulded pointed-arched doorway, there is fine foliate carving on the corbels, with engaged shafts and stops to the hood mould. The inner porch has a hood mould with foliate stops over lancet lights that flank a studded door, which is set in a pointed-arched architrave and features finely scrolled wrought-iron hinges.

The attic windows are pointed-arched and have ironstone tympanum arches above similar mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights. The ground floor includes a crenellated bay window in the left gabled bay, which has bracketed pointed-arched bargeboards with carved details. The other elevations display similar asymmetrical detailing, including a stair tower to the north, a bargeboarded gable above a two-storey canted bay window to the south, and a pointed-arched doorway with a studded door flanked by gabled bays with bargeboards to the west. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to retain original features.
