Formerly known as: House on north corner of Lightburn.
2 houses. Early to mid C19, probably by Websters of Kendal.
Main house of limestone ashlar with slate roof.
A symmetrical composition of 2 storeys and 3 bays with a
plinth, a 1st-floor sill band, and a gutter cornice with deep
hollow moulding. The windows are glazing bar sashes with
margin panes and have recessed surrounds. The doorcase is of
limestone and has engaged Tuscan columns and a strongly
projecting cornice. There are 3 external steps and the door is
of 6 panels, the upper 4 glazed and the lower 2 with reeded
borders. Gable chimneys.
At the left is a lower wing, now separately occupied. It is
roughcast and has limestone dressings. At the left there is a
blocked carriage entrance with ashlar surround and an
elliptical arch. To its right is a timber canted bay window
with sashes, possibly a later C19 alteration. On the 1st floor
are 2 glazing bar sash windows with plain reveals and a sill
band. Chimney at left. The left-hand gable wall, facing
Lightburn Road, is slate-hung.
INTERIOR: the door panels have borders formed by applied
mouldings and the architraves are reeded with corner bosses.
An archway with panelled pilaster reveals separates the
entrance hall from the rear stair hall, which contains a
dogleg geometrical stair with open string, mahogany stick
balusters, and a wreathed handrail. Both ground-floor front
rooms contain marble fireplace surrounds. On the 1st floor are
further surrounds, including one of polished fossil limestone
and one with a cast-iron hob grate.
