Calgarth Hall

In the civil parish of Windermere. In the historic county of Westmorland (Modern Authority of Cumbria, 1974 county of Cumbria).

A two storey house which dates from the early C16 onwards. It is made from limewashed stone rubble and has old slate roofs. The east front is long and low. The centre portion has two windows on the ground floor and three above. The south wing contains former barns and has the remains of a projecting chimney. A range of stables adjoin this wing. The house was the seat of the Philipson family from the early C16 to 1717. C14 door may be from an earlier house, and there is evidence of an earlier building including C15 kitchen and possible tower. (PastScape)
