The Grange

The entrance is through stone gateposts and black wrought iron gates. The drive runs through large holm oak and beech trees. The house, with a Georgian facade, looks out over the valley and the village of Pensford.

A lawn runs down to a ha-ha, beyond which is a field. The view is altered by a small plantation around a pond in this field, as well as by recently-planted evergreens on the lawn.

Following the drive past the house to the stable yard there is a fine view of the viaduct in the valley to the south. On the other side of the drive there are the remains of the formal garden. There are box hedges still growing well, but the area is otherwise used for vegetables.

The stable yard is of Victorian design, with an interresting shaped pond built into the wall. An old wall flanks the west side of the garden, and may be the remains of the walled kitchen garden. It is lined with fruit trees.

Beside the disused tennis court there are signs of walls and embankments, which could have been an old entrance. It is now the entrance to the field and has a white gate.
