Building record 266/0/43 - Outbuilding, The Grange

The outbuilding is a stone built, single storey, detached gabled building, which falls within the curtilage of the Grade II listed The Grange, a detached 17th Century grade-II listed building located within the centre of the village of Moreton Pinkney. The outbuilding is situated to the SE of the house and incorporates part of an earlier stone boundary wall. It appears to date from the mid-late 19th century, and was likely constructed as a stable block and coach house with loft housing a granary; its footprint appears to be shown on the OS 1st edition map but is not especially clearly shown on later historic OS mapping of The Grange and its curtilage.

{1} - The building comprises a single storey detached outbuilding with attic, which falls within the curtilage of the Grade II listed The Grange (List Entry No. 1040413). The outbuilding is situated to the SE of the Grange. It is a gabled structure of three bays, constructed of irregular coursed dressed limestone and iron stone masonary with squared limestone quoins and several later phases of brick infilling. The outbuilding is built against and incorporates part of an earlier stone boundary wall. The building was likely constructed in the 19th century and has similar coped gables with kneelers as the main house, and may be associated with the c.1900 alterations undertaken to The Grange, but it is hard to reconcile the siting of the outbuilding against historic maps. The purpose of the original building may have been as a stable block and coach house, with a storage loft and possible living quarters above. There are several phases of alteration associated with the building, both interior and exterior, including the erection of a later 20th century lean to on each of the gable ends.
