Flats A,B,C,D,E,F Grandy Nook

Flats A, B, C, D, E, and F at Grandy Nook is a building that was originally a house, dating back to 1659, as indicated by a stone panel set in the gable of the rear wing. The initials T. & K.S. refer to Thomas Sandes, the founder of Sandes Hospital in Highgate, and his wife Katherine. There is a second panel above the front door of the northern block, which originally was made of oak and bears the initials T. & I.F. with the date 1669. The building was restored in 1864 for John Fisher and has undergone later additions and alterations.

The structure features slobbered rubble with a wide plinth on the southern return and graduated slate roofs with gabled dormers, along with a full-height rear wing on the southern block, which has stone end chimneys. The southern block is roughly symmetrical, standing two storeys high with attics and consisting of five bays. It has two central 19th-century studded doors side by side, with a wooden oriel above and two wood-mullioned and transomed windows on each floor on either side, and a dripstone over the ground-floor windows.

The northern block is also symmetrical, two storeys tall with three bays. It features a central 19th-century studded door under a canopy supported by consoles, with wood-mullioned and transomed windows on each floor on either side, complete with hoodmoulds and labels over the ground-floor windows. A door leading to the rear wing has moulded jambs and a false four-centred head, and there are two porches added to the rear of the northern block. For details of dated interior features, refer to the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments for Westmorland, specifically page 129, items 60 and 61; a strapwork frieze dated 1666 was noted but not seen during a listing re-survey in April 1984, and the balustrade was reported to have been removed.
