Description
The Grange is a large house with an attached service wing, dating to the early 18th century and early 19th century, with later alterations. The exterior is rendered coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, and it has stone slate hipped roofs with two ridge stacks. Raised quoins mark the corners. The house is two stories high with attics.
The south-east entrance front features a recessed doorway with a moulded ashlar surround and a panel door with a segmental overlight. On either side are three plain sash windows with moulded ashlar surrounds, the one on the left being wider and more broadly spaced. Above, there are seven plain sash windows in similar surrounds, also on the left. Two gabled dormers flank the upper level, each containing a two-light glazing bar casement. The east front has two plain sash windows on each floor, also in similar surrounds.
The rear, north front, exhibits a tall, round-headed stair window with a moulded ashlar surround and a flat hood. To the left of the stair window are three plain sash windows on each floor. Attached to the west is a low, two-story service wing, linked by a wing featuring a single false sash and a segmental bellcote. The east front of the service wing has three ashlar doorways: the rightmost with a plank door and a large glazing bar overlight, and the two to the left with plank doors and blind segmental overlights. Above are three windows, those on the left featuring round-headed ashlar surrounds with 20th-century glazing bar casements. The south front has a single two-light upper window with chamfered mullions.
A link on the south-west wall connects to fine spearhead railings with two sets of double gates. The interior includes a fine cantilever stone staircase with iron balustrade and mahogany handrail, as well as Minton floor tiles. The main reception rooms have fine plaster coving and ceiling rosettes. Most rooms retain original, high-quality doorcases, doors, window surrounds, and shutters. The drawing room features a fine marble fireplace and an imported door surround, while the dining room incorporates imported 17th-century panelling. The living room has a large, early 18th-century ashlar fireplace. The upper rooms largely retain their original fireplaces. A back staircase, a single flight and return, features stick balusters.
