Description

Mews Cottage is an early to mid-19th century house located on Kirkhead Road, Kents Bank, Grange-over-Sands. The house is built of painted roughcast, with an artificial slate roof. It is a two-storey, two-window range building. The windows are glazing bar sashes with narrow painted stone surrounds and projecting sills. A glazed lean-to porch shelters the door on the left bay. A central chimney is topped with a limestone cap. The house appears on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, surveyed in the late 1840s, alongside Kent’s Bank House.
