The Grange, Moyallen, Portadown, Co Armagh, BT63 5JZ

The Grange is an asymmetrical three-bay two-storey house with attic, built around 1800 with substantial alterations made around 1900 and 1960. It stands in a rural location east of the Stramore Road near Portadown, Co Armagh.

The house follows an L-shaped plan, with an original full-height return and two-storey lean-to extension added to the rear around 1900, and a modern sun room of circa 1960 to the south. The roof is pitched natural slate with terracotta ridge tiles, overhanging eaves board, and roughcast rendered chimneystacks with capped pots. Rainwater goods are cast-iron ogee pattern fitted to the overhanging eaves. The walls are painted roughcast render with a continuous sill course to the ground floor on the west side.

The principal west-facing elevation contains three openings with a central entrance bay and projecting gabled bay to the right. Windows throughout are mostly timber sliding sash of 3/6 tripartite design with dividing pilasters, though some variations occur. The ground floor left bay contains a lean-to box bay with 3/6 tripartite window. The north elevation features a canted oriel box window to the first floor with bracketed base, overhanging eaves and three six-paned timber casement windows on hinges, supported by four decorative timber brackets on corbels. This elevation also has two 2/2 windows to the attic.

The entrance is centrally positioned on the west elevation, comprising a six-panelled raised-and-fielded door with brass furniture, flanked by Tuscan columns with entasis and surmounted by a frieze with triglyphs and a spider-web fanlight. The doorcase is set in an ashlar sandstone surround. Above the entrance to the first floor is a 3/6 window with side-lights.

The east rear elevation is abutted at its left by the full-height return and early extension containing three 1/1 windows to the first floor and two 2/2 windows to the ground floor, with a timber half-panelled door at ground floor left. The slated lean-to extension to the right has a 3/6 window and multi-paned window at ground floor.

The south elevation includes a 2/2 window to the attic left and right; a 6/6 window and 3/6 window to the first floor; and ground floor windows abutted at right by the modern sun room of circa 1960. A uPVC door and window screen has been added to the sun room.

The site is substantial and mature, accessed via a modern farm-gate and gravelled driveway. A large roughcast rendered slated coach-house stands to the east. The coach-house has three regularly spaced multi-paned timber windows to the first floor with a working clock-face at centre, three multi-paned windows to the ground floor left, and modern timber-sheeted garage doors on rollers to the east elevation. The south gable contains two eight-paned timber casement windows to the first floor, with a uPVC door and window screen added to ground floor.

The setting includes a rubble stone boundary wall with buttresses to the north, and a roughcast rendered wall with rubble stone pier enclosing the rear garden. A modern swimming pool lies to the rear of the house, with a working orchard to the east. The south garden is enclosed by hedgerow and accessed on three sides by wrought-iron gates. The road frontage to the west is bounded by mature hedgerow.
