SD6591 LOFTUS HILL, Sedbergh Town 162-1/20/405 (West side) 14/06/84 School House at Sedbergh School

GV II

Boarding house of Sedbergh School. 1878, by Paley & Austin, apparently enlarged and slightly altered. Coursed sandstone rubble, slate roof. Irregular H-plan formed by main range on east-west axis with short projecting east and west wings (the latter with a gabled cross-wing at its south end) and a tower at the north-east corner. Subdued Jacobean style. EXTERIOR: two-and-a-half storeys, a 6-window main range, with 2 buttresses (the second carried up to a chimney), and a string-course over the ground floor; 9-light mullion-and-transom windows on both floors of the 1st bay, a similar window at ground floor of the 2nd bay and a 2-light mullion window above, cross-windows at ground floor and 2-light windows at 1st floor of the other bays; gabled dormers in the roof. Both wings are in similar style, but with less regular fenestration, including multiple-light mullioned windows in the gables, and have coped gables with kneelers. The south end of the west return of the west wing achieves a better stylistic effect, consisting of 3 gabled 2-window bays, that in the centre having a half-dormer gable and that to the right breaking forwards as a short wing, with a large canted bay window to the 1st bay and a very prominent 5-sided bay window to the 3rd bay, cross-window fenestration throughout the ground floor, 2-light mullioned windows throughout the 1st floor, one 4-light mullioned window to the top of each bay, and gable coping with kneelers; further north the fenestration is less regular. The tower at the north-east corner is square, rises one stage above the eaves, has a louvred 1-light belfry window in each side with a hoodmould, a coped parapet and a pyramidal roof with a weathervane. INTERIOR: fireplaces and staircase in corresponding style, and datestone lettered 1878.
