Two Follies In Wooded Cliff Above And Belonging To Netherwood Hotel

Two follies located in a wooded cliff above and belonging to the Netherwood Hotel in Grange-over-Sands, likely built in the mid-19th century. Originally part of a group of garden buildings that included a gardener's cottage, greenhouses, and a tool shed, these structures have been converted into houses while retaining their original openings and incorporating extensions that match the original style. They are constructed from limestone rubble with rough-cut limestone dressings and feature slate roofs behind embattled parapets.

The western building has a south-facing window with a fixed light that includes glazing bars and intersecting glazing in its triangular head, along with a corbelled round corner turret to the left. An embattled terrace wall connects to the eastern building, which has first-floor window openings with triangular heads and a corbelled embattled parapet that steps up towards the center and at the sides.

Historically, the Netherwood Hotel was built in 1893 on the site of Blawith Cottage, which dates back to around 1800 and may have been designed by Francis Webster. Although the garden buildings seem to predate 1893, they are not depicted on the first edition of the Six Inch Ordnance Survey Map, which was surveyed in the late 1840s.
