Description

This is a large, early 18th century Renaissance farmhouse, known as The Grange, together with attached later agricultural buildings. The main house is rendered and whitewashed, with a slate roof and projecting end stacks. The symmetrical south front has three storeys, featuring hornless sash windows with shallow stone sills. A 20th century porch with a gabled slate roof occupies the centre of the ground floor, complemented by 3-pane metal windows in the side walls. The entrance doorway has a 4-pane rectangular overlight and a 4-panel door. Flanking the entrance are 24-pane sashes with marginal glazing bars, set within wide segmental arches. The first floor has three 12-pane sashes in narrower segmental openings, while the second floor features three smaller 4-pane sashes in square openings with flat heads. To the left of the main house, a one-and-a-half storey block has whitewashed render, a slate roof, and a partially projecting gable stack with stepped offsets. The ground floor of this block has a casement window and a 20th century glazed door. An attic dormer with a 2+2 pane window is set into the centre of the roof slope. The back elevation contains 2+2 casements on the first and second floors, a 2-light leaded window on the ground floor, and a small leaded staircase window. Lower ground level features two doorways and a 2-light mullion window with iron stanchions; at the east gable, 1-light sunk chamfer mullions with iron stanchions are positioned on either side of the stack. A single-storey brewhouse/dairy wing projects at right angles to the back of the one-and-a-half storey block. This wing has rubble stone walls, a corrugated asbestos roof, and a large stone stack projecting at the north gable with a recessed brick flue. The west front of the brewhouse/dairy features a boarded door with a monopitch canopy, a 6-pane window with a shallow stone sill, and a projecting low stone wall, approximately 2 metres long, with a stone drinking trough and farmyard below. Attached to the end gable of the brewhouse/dairy at this lower level is a single-storey stone cowhouse with a corrugated metal roof. The west front of the cowhouse includes a boarded door, a blocked door, and two further boarded doors.

The interior of the main farmhouse includes a central entrance lobby with a coved ceiling cornice and 4-panel doors. Ground floor rooms feature shutters with fielded panels and dado rails. A room to the right of the entrance has a moulded ceiling cornice and a 20th century fireplace, while the room to the left contains a blocked fireplace opening, with a former 18th century wooden eared architrave stored in the cellar. Behind the entrance lobby is a pantry with an 18th century 8-panel door. A central oak staircase with winders and a wall rail rises to the upper floors, which each contain three bedrooms. The first floor has a good 18th century bolection moulded fireplace surround, while the second floor retains reused roof timbers forming 6 bays, with collar trusses, and two tiers of purlins. The interior of the one-and-a-half storey block has a ground-floor kitchen with chamfered ceiling beams, panel shutters, and a spit rack above the fireplace. The lower cowhouse has a 5-bay interior with early 19th century roof-trusses incorporating angled queen struts. The interior of the brewhouse/dairy was not inspected at the time of resurvey.
