Description

FLIXTON BY BUNGAY GRANGE ROAD TM 38 NW 2/6 The Grange - II Farmhouse. Early C17, with late C19 exterior. 2 storeys and attics to main range; 1½ storeys to rear: L-shaped form. Timber-framed. The front range is faced in red brick on the ground floor and rendered above; the rear is fully encased in brick. Plaintiled roofs with ornamental ridge tiles. One end chimney-stack, and another on the rear wall. 2 gabled dormers with ornate pierced and fluted bargeboards and spike finials; similar bargeboards to the 2 gable ends. 4 windows in heavy mullion-and-transome style to the first floor: 2 4-light and 2 2-light, and 3 similar windows to the ground floor, 2 of 4 lights and one of 3 lights. A studded entrance door with applied pilaster strips, under an ornate porch roof with bargeboards and Gothic brackets. This front range has a basic 3-cell plan, modified by early and later C19 alterations; most of the timber frame is covered, but the ground floor room at the west end has an ovolo-moulded main beam, and the central room 2 boxed-in beams and an original fireplace with Tudor arch, plastered to simulate stone. The rear range has diamond-leaded panes to casement windows, some of the frames and panes C17, repaired and reset when the house was encased in brick. The interior, in 3 bays, has plain main beams only exposed. A C19 lean-to along its west side. The farm was formerly the grange to Flixton Hall, and the exterior is typical of the style of estate house favoured by the Adair family. Listing NGR: TM3124085911
