Description
Dated 1680, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries, Grange Farm House is a three-storey laird's house. The exterior is harled with painted margins, featuring stone mullions and an architraved doorcase.
The south elevation has widely spaced bays. A tripartite doorway with a timber door is centrally positioned, with a window to the outer right, both now behind a modern, single-storey conservatory. A mid-to-late 19th-century canted window is situated in the bay to the left of centre, and a single-storey extension features a French window to the outer left. The first floor showcases tall windows at the centre and to the right, a canted window with a cornice and blocking course, and an acroteria-detailed cast-iron balcony to the left. Three regular windows are located close to the eaves on the second floor.
The west elevation’s entrance is off-centre to the left, with a basket-arched doorway leading to a panelled timber door. A window is positioned to the right of the door, with a timber door beyond in an advanced wall of a small jettied extension, and a dominant projecting gable extends to the outer right. A window sits in the bay to the left of centre, alongside a timber gate in a link wall to an outhouse. The first floor has a window near the centre right which abuts the small jettied extension, also with a window. A blocked window is visible by the re-entrant angle, with a pediment featuring a thistle finial to the right, a fleur-de-lys finial at the apex, and the date 1680 displayed below entwined initials "DB" on the tympanum. Further windows are present in the bay to the left of centre. The second floor has two large windows close to the eaves at the centre and in the bay to the left of centre. A single-storey extension to the west of the projecting gable contains two windows at the centre and three windows on its return to the left.
The east elevation has a recessed centre with a window at first floor level. A two-storey projecting gable is to the right, with windows at the centre of both floors, and a first-floor window on its return. A blind, full-height projecting gable is to the left.
Windows are timber sash and case with 4-, 12-, and 15-pane glazing patterns. Lower sashes have plate glass, while upper sashes have 4-pane glazing. Modern uPVC windows are found on the centre, left second floor of the south elevation, and within the jettied extension. The roof is covered in purple slates. The chimney stacks are broad, harled, and coped, with polygonal cans, coped ashlar skews with beak skewputts and thackstanes.
The interior includes a curved staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters and a timber handrail, decorative plasterwork cornices, panelling and friezes, and centre roses. Black and grey marble chimneypieces are present, along with carved timber chimneypieces in the extension.
Outbuildings north of the house include a single-storey, harled and pantiled bothy with ashlar coped skews, a timber door with a blocked letterbox fanlight and flanking windows to the left of centre, and a small opening with flanking doors to the right of centre. A deep random rubble wall runs west of the house, featuring square-headed openings to the south and east leading to vaulted chambers (possibly an ice house) situated underground and rising to the north. A conservatory, built after 1927, sits on a brick base and includes pivot windows and a decorative cast-iron finial.
The walled garden is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls, with pyramid-coped ashlar gatepiers and arrowhead cast-iron gates. Low, harled walls with inset cast-iron railings and square, harled piers with ogee capping and ball finials are also present.
