House, now hotel and restaurant. Early to mid C19. Probably by
Websters of Kendal. Limestone ashlar with side and rear walls
of painted rubble. Slate roof. Double-depth plan.
2 storeys and 4 bays. Windows are glazing bar sashes with
plain reveals, projecting sills on the ground floor, and a
1st-floor sill band. The door, in the 2nd bay, is of 6 raised
and fielded panels and has an overlight of 3 panes. The
limestone doorcase is of baseless Tuscan engaged columns with
a triangular pediment. Gable chimneys. Attached to the wall of
a rear extension is a lead plaque inscribed 'I G H 1812',
which appears to have been removed from the cistern of a water
pump.
INTERIOR: the mahogany dogleg stair has stick balusters and a
wreathed handrail. The left-hand front room contains a marble
fireplace surround with moulded sunken panels and with
anthemion brackets. The right-hand front room has a plainer
marble fireplace, and a built-in cupboard (which appears to be
mostly original) in the wall which divides it from the rear
room. On the first floor there are fireplace surrounds of
polished limestone, the left-hand front room having one with a
cast-iron Gothick grate, and the right-hand one having a hob
grate.
