Description
South Lodge to Castle Head is a mid to late 19th-century building located in Grange-over-Sands. It is constructed of rock-faced limestone and features a slate roof. The lodge is a single storey with a basement at the rear. A gable faces west towards the main road, which includes a 20th-century casement window with glazing bars. To the left, a similar window is set back and rises into a hipped dormer. The left-hand return wall has two windows above those that light the basement, along with similar dormers. On the right, next to the drive entrance, there is a square-plan tower topped with a pyramid roof, which is surrounded on two sides by a slated verandah. This tower has glazed door openings in its front and right-hand walls, as well as quatrefoiled openings above the verandah on both walls. The verandah is supported by six cast-iron barleysugar columns on sandstone bases, which hold up arched timber brackets that are pierced with quatrefoils.
