Description
This is a former stable block, dating from 1866. It was likely designed by EG Paley and built for the Furness Railway. The building is constructed of limestone rubble with sandstone dressings and a slate roof, arranged around a central courtyard.
The south range, which fronts the main road, features a central two-storey gateway with a half-hipped roof, including a segmental arch and a first-floor window with two round-headed lights. To the left of the gateway, there are two doorways separated by two windows each, with segmental heads and keystones. The right side of the range has windows with plain reveals, including an upper-storey window which rises into a dormer gable. Chimneys are located to the left of the entrance archway and on the front wall towards the right.
The western range faces the driveway to the Grange Hotel and includes a slated timber verandah on the left side. Historically, the building was used by the railway company as a licensed waiting room for horses and coaches.
