Description
The Grange is a country house, now used as offices, located on the east side of Barn Close in Street. Originally built for Glastonbury Abbey before 1539, the house was substantially rebuilt around 1650 for the Strode family and then refaced around 1810 for the Brown family.
The house is rendered with rusticated ashlar quoins, a cornice, a parapet incorporating three inset oblong panels, coping, and a hipped slate roof with brick stacks. The symmetrical east front has a 1:1:1 bay arrangement, with the central portion projecting slightly. It features tripartite sash windows with 4:12:4 panes and tripartite French windows on the ground floor, with fluted details. A ten-column Tuscan colonnade runs along the ground floor, with the centre portion breaking forward in a semi-circle. The north return displays mullioned and transomed windows of 2 and 3 lights.
Inside, there’s a door opening framed by a surround of 4-centred head stone, along with other early 19th-century features.
