Description
Grassington House Hotel is a building that dates from the mid to late 18th century, likely constructed around 1760 for Mr. Brown. It is made of coursed squared brown-grey limestone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The structure has three storeys and a three-bay main range, with a projecting three-bay block to the left. The building has rusticated quoins and a central entrance with top-glazed double doors framed by an architrave. The ground and first floors have sash windows with glazing bars in their architraves, while the top storey features 20th-century side-hung iron casements. Moulded stone gutter brackets are present, and the projecting block has a hipped roof, with a kneeler and gable coping on the far right. There are corniced stacks on the ridge at the centre of the left block and on the far right. Mr. Brown was known for promoting the Grassington-Pateley Bridge Turnpike Trust. The Alcock family, who were bankers from Skipton, lived in the house until the early 19th century, after which it became a hotel.
