Trinity House

This early to mid-19th century house, now operating as a hotel and restaurant, was likely designed by Webbers of Kendal. It is constructed of limestone ashlar, with side and rear walls of painted rubble, and has a slate roof. The house is of a double-depth plan, with two storeys and four bays. The windows are glazing bar sashes with plain reveals; the ground floor windows have projecting sills, and there is a sill band on the first floor. The front door, located in the second bay, consists of six raised and fielded panels, surmounted by a three-pane overlight. It is set within a limestone doorcase featuring baseless Tuscan engaged columns and a triangular pediment. Gable chimneys are a characteristic feature. A lead plaque, inscribed 'I G H 1812', is attached to a rear extension wall and was originally part of a water pump cistern. The interior features a mahogany dogleg staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. The left-hand front room has a marble fireplace surround with moulded sunken panels and anthemion brackets. The right-hand front room has a plainer marble fireplace and a largely original built-in cupboard dividing it from the rear room. On the first floor, the front rooms have polished limestone fireplace surrounds, with one featuring a cast-iron Gothick grate and the other a hob grate.
