Listed Building: THE GRANGE (282051)

HENSTEAD WITH HULVER STREET TM 48 NE 2/22 The Grange - II House. Core probably C16; the facade and left hand gable end are dated by a stone tablet at the apex of the gable inscribed 'C' over 'JM' 1740 (for John and Mary Clarke); early C19 2-span addition set forward to right, and a further range of similar date at the rear. Fragmentary timber framed core, largely rebuilt in red brick, the facade and left hand gable end with a chequer pattern in dark headers. Roof of glazed black pantiles. 2 storeys with attics to main range. Good facade with 4 windows, original flush-frame sashes with heavy glazing bars under flat brick arches. Lobby entrance with inset 6-panel door, panelled reveals, and original doorcase with pilasters, entablature and modillion cornice. Brick band at first floor level. Internal stack with 2 tall C19 flues set diamondwise; there are similar stacks at the right hand gable end and in the later addition. The left hand gable end has a doorcase with pilasters, entablature and dentil cornice, an eaves brick band and a square-leaded cross window at attic level. At the rear is later brickwork and a further datestone inscribed 'C' over 'IA' 1786, for John and Anna Clarke. The front addition has sash windows with slender glazing bars under cambered arches. Interior considerably altered: some chamfered joists and a little framing are visible on the ground floor; evidence for a diamond- mullioned window at the right hand gable end shows that the house has been extended slightly to accommodate the gable end stack. C18 eared marble fireplace in left hand ground floor room. Listing NGR: TM4904886730
