4/60 Lodge Farmhouse and integral barn - - II

Farmhouse with integral barn, probably C17, with C18 and C19 additions to the house at the left end. Coursed sandstone rubble with large quoins (additions of watershot coursed sandstone, and random rubble), roofs on 3 slightly different levels, of slate and stone slate with 3 chimneys. Original building 4 bays, with domestic accommodation only in 1st bay which had end baffle-entry, is now 2 low storeys and has modern lean-to porch (continued to left) covering altered original doorway or window, square window at 1st floor; 3-bay barn continued to right has small breathers on 2 levels, blocked opposed wagon entrances to the centre, and at right end a doorway with very large jambstones and lintel, and straight dripstone above. Rear wall has opposed similar doorway, and moulded double corbels to former canopy of wagon entrance. Later additions to left are each double pile, one bay, 2 higher storeys with roofs of different pitch, and the first of them partly embraces the original house. Interior: mostly altered, apparently in C18, but original rear doorway to domestic part survives (now covered outside by later kitchen extension). Barn has original collar rafter roof trusses, the tie-beams with tongue-stopped chamfer; blocked doorway to housepart; cow stalls aligned across the end bay facing inwards include at least 2 posts with tongue-stopped chamfer. Internal renovation of house in progress at time of survey. Listed as now rare example of very simple type of laithe house.
