Quality of magnificence
Grandness is the quality of being grand—impressive in size, scope, or ambition.
It can describe physical magnificence: the grandness of the cathedral.
It also applies to behavior or manner that's lofty or self-important: He spoke with an air of grandness that annoyed everyone.
The word sits between grandeur (more elevated) and bigness (more plain).
