Description
The Grange Hotel, located in Grange-over-Sands, is a Grade II listed building that was constructed in 1866 as a railway hotel, designed by E.G. Paley. It features snecked limestone with sandstone dressings and slate roofs. The facade has a window arrangement of 4:1:4, with a three-storey cross-wing on the right that has a half-hipped roof. The entrance bay rises to four storeys and is topped with a semi-pavilion roof that includes ridge railings.
Flanking the entrance are two-storey sections with four windows each, featuring dormers set in a mansard roof. The ground floor has casement windows with segmental heads, while the first floor has sash windows with sill bands. Below the gutters, there are prominent shaped brackets. The attic dormers, which are sashed and set back into the mansard slope, also have segmental heads.
The right-hand cross-wing includes a timber canted bay window on the ground floor, with paired windows on the upper floors separated by stone mullions. The entrance bay features a window with three segmental-headed lights separated by mullions on the first floor, and above it, there are two round-headed lights. Above the entrance doorway and its flanking windows, there is a plain entablature with a moulded cornice, supported by Tuscan pilasters.
