Appraisal
Grange House is an elegantly-proportioned middle-sized house retaining much of its original appearance, together with salient features such as the early twentieth century horizontally-paned sash windows. Its restrained appearance is enlivened by the attractive render detailing at the early twentieth century door surround and doorcase.
