Blawith Lodge (Netherwood) Windermere Road Grange over Sands

Lodge (to Blawith, now the Netherwood Hotel (qv)), now house. 1890. Snecked limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, rock‑faced around window openings, and slate roof. Complex roof plan, with 2‑storey gabled wing to left. To the right the house is of a single storey with an attic dormer rising into a roof which is hipped at the front, with a smaller attic dormer to its left set into the valley between the 2 roofs. A single‑storey stone porch with an embattled parapet occupies the angle with the left‑hand wing, and a slated timber verandah extends across the front of the house to the right, carried on turned tapering timber columns, each capped by 2 cornice mouldings. Below the verandah there is a window. The windows are timber casements, and all the bargeboards are plain. Below the apex of the left‑hand wing is a plaque inscribed: 'CDW 1890'. Chimneys on right‑hand wall of wing and towards rear at right.

CHECK - note that the lodge pre-dates the main house, rebuilt in 1893
