Stapleton Grange

Stapleton Grange is a farmhouse with an unusual steading, constructed entirely of red sandstone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. The house dates from the mid-19th century and is two storeys high with three bays. The inner bay is advanced and gabled, while the outer bays feature bipartite windows with hood moulds at ground level. The building has shaped skewputts and end stacks with diamond flues, along with a substantial triple-gabled rear wing.

The steading was built in the late 18th to early 19th century and has blank walls facing the road. It consists of three main elements:

a. An L-plan east block that has been altered and heightened, featuring a loft below the eaves, a forestair in the re-entrant angle, and two loft doors. The south range has blocked wide openings facing the roadside and a circular pitching hole leading to the court.

b. A long south range, also with a loft below the eaves, contains six north-facing bays arranged in two groups of three. Each group has two loft doors flanked by circular pitching holes.

c. A large north block that is single storey, featuring a long implement shed that runs the full width of the south wall, and a tall piended square hayloft (three by two bays) that rises above the northwest angle.
