Introduction
Previous features of The Grange include a medieval moat, several gardens, a loggia and paths.
To the south east of the house are remains of a trapezoidal medieval moat complete in 1842, when it was shown on the tithe map. The grounds consist of several gardens among mature trees—cedar, Scots pine, copper beech, Wellingtonia and limes.
There is a loggia with climbing plants on the south side of the house. The garden has now been simplified. The 1938 sale particulars showed paths which are now grassed over and the complex layout of flowerbeds on the lower lawn have been removed.
