Description
The Waterfoot Hotel is a house, dating to circa 1808 and originally built for Mr Clarkson. It is constructed of calciferous sandstone ashlar with a string course, eaves cornice, and angle pilasters. The roof is graduated greenslate, featuring numerous candlestick chimney stacks. Part of the building is an earlier house with painted stucco walls and a graduated greenslate roof with brick chimney stacks on stucco bases. The building comprises two sections: a five-bay section of circa 1808, and a lower, right-hand section, an earlier house of two storeys and eight bays, showing evidence of more than one build phase. The main entrance features a central panelled door and fanlight, set within a projecting, pilastered stone porch with bowed side lights. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set in plain reveals; those on the ground floor have radial glazing bars in round arches, and the window above the entrance is bowed. The earlier house has irregular sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds. Nikolaus Pevsner included the building in his 1967 survey, Buildings of England, Cumberland & Westmorland, on page 284.
