SP42NE MIDDLE ASTON 5/264 Grange Farmhouse II Farmhouse. Early C18, altered and extended C19. Coursed limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings and some wooden lintels; Stonesfield-slate and Welsh-slate roofs with stone-and-brick stacks. 3-unit plan with long rear wing, extended to 4 units. 2 storeys plus attic and 2 storeys. 4-window front of main range, with a rubble storey band, was altered early C19 from a 5-window arrangement and now has 12-pane sashes at first floor and sashes of 12, 16 and 12 panes at ground floor, bay 3 replacing 2 narrower bays. Only the ground-floor window in bay one retains an ashlar flat arch with projecting keyblock, but traces of others remain in the walling. Doorway in bay 2 has a 6-panel door in an elaborate C19 wooden porch, and above it the window is blind. 2-storey C19 section to left probably incorporates earlier walling at ground floor, but now has a 2-light casement above a pair of sashes. Right end wall has pairs of windows at ground and first floors plus a gable window; most are blocked but some retain 2-light casements. Returning from it, the 5-window rear range, originally single storey, has varied casements of several dates. Rear of main range has a wide gabled projection incorporating the stair, and has a broad lateral stack at the junction of ranges with a moulded stone string above the rubble base. Gable wall of rear wing has a smaller similar stack. Interior: mostly C19 details. The farm is near the site of the deserted village of Nethercote. (VCH: Oxfordshire: Vol XI, p31)
