Description
Grange Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the mid-17th century, with additions dated 1703 above the entrance, and further modifications from the late 18th century and early 19th century. The building features painted rendered walls set on a projecting stone plinth and has a graduated greenslate roof with stepped gables, along with original rendered stone chimney stacks.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a single-bay extension on the left, which was likely originally a barn or stable, all under a common roof. There is also a rear two-storey, single-bay extension, creating an overall L-shape. The house retains two original 17th-century ground-floor windows, one of which has a chamfered stone mullion. The other windows are sashes set within painted stone surrounds from the 18th or 19th century.
The left extension features a cross passage with a Tudor-arched doorway, which has an inscribed lintel. A straight joint above the right of the doorway indicates that this part is an extension. The late 18th-century double sash windows have glazing bars and are also in painted stone surrounds. At the rear, there is an outshut that contains a dairy with a small casement window in a plain reveal beneath a drip-stone. The return wall of the outshut has a loft doorway accessed by external stone steps. The rear extension includes sash and casement windows in 18th-century painted stone surrounds.
Inside, there is an early 18th-century stone fireplace with flanking panelled cupboards, one of which is dated and inscribed TM 1704, although the inscription is covered by a plaster ceiling. The interior features a complete beamed ceiling, parts of an 18th-century panelled partition, and some early 18th-century panelled doors. The upper floor has exposed roof beams, and there is a reset early 18th-century panelled screen in the left extension. A semicircular stone staircase from the 17th century is located at the rear, externally covered by the outshut and extension. The former dairy has stone slab shelves. A panelled court cupboard from 1696 has been removed since 1936.
