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.
