Grange House

Grange House is an early 18th-century classical Laird’s House, built on the site of an earlier building. It is three storeys high and has a five-bay front facing south. The central doorway has a decorative lugged surround and cornice. The windows are flanked by plain projecting margins. The outer bays of the house project forward, featuring round-headed windows with key-blocked detailing at ground and first floor levels, and oculi (circular windows) in the attic. These projecting bays are gabled with straight skews, moulded skew-puts, and rectangular corniced stacks. The walls are of rubble construction with ashlar dressings and remnants of harling on the flanks and rear. The roof is now absent.

Quadrant walls connect the main house to single-storey rectangular pavilions located to the south-east and south-west. The south-east pavilion has a blocked doorway on its western side and a piended (hipped) pantiled roof. The west pavilion, now known as Grange Cottages, has been modernised and extended with single-storey additions to the south and east. It is harled with a gable to the south and a piended pantiled roof to the north. Die-walls (low walls) originally with railings, extend from the pavilions to enclose the forecourt to the south, punctuated by a pair of panelled and corniced ashlar gatepiers at the centre.

Despite being roofless, the building remains largely complete to wallhead level. It was shown as a ruin on an Ordnance Survey map from 1855. A farmhouse built shortly after this date to replace Grange House is largely unaltered and not considered worthy of separate listing.
