Two air source heat pumps are proposed and would be in the back garden, providing a source of renewable energy.

The farmhouse was built after a cottage previously on site was torn down in 1735.

The building was licensed to sell ale in the 1760s, suggesting that it served as the village pub.

The name The Grange was adopted in 1861 and the site functioned as a farm throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

It had 170 acres of land being worked by 1921, according historic records.

The buildings were given Grade II-listed status in 1987.
