Description

Kendal House is an early 18th-century house with alterations from the 19th century. The house is constructed of coursed squared ironstone with a slate roof, blue brick ridge tiles, and end stacks on stone bases. It has a three-unit plan and a five-window front. The central doorway has six panels, a wooden lintel, a straight hood on brackets, and is approached by three stone steps. Two canted bay windows are situated to the right of centre, featuring horned sashes. Other windows are horned sash windows to both the ground and first floors, all with wooden lintels. A four-light, chamfered stone mullion window is in the cellar to the left of the door. Quoins are visible on the three 19th-century gabled dormer windows. A long, two-storey wing extends to the rear left.

Inside, notable features include ogee-stop-chamfered spine beams, an open fireplace with an ogee-stop-chamfered bressumer, an open-well staircase from the ground floor to the attic with serpentine splat balusters, a fitted cupboard with a semi-domed head, and a stone cellar. The building is believed to have originally been a coaching inn, known as the 'Red Lion', and later served as a malting house and corn chandlers premises in the 19th century.
