The Lodge

The Lodge is a building that originally consisted of two cottages but has been converted into one house. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with mid-19th century additions. The structure is made of red English garden wall bond brick and has a slate roof.

The front of the building, facing the road, features the earlier portion on the left, which has two bays and a 19th-century gabled porch at the center, decorated with tree trunks and branches. There is a three-light casement window on each side of the porch, both with Tudor hood moulds. On the first floor, there are two similar windows without hood moulds.

To the right is the mid-19th century addition, built around 1850. This section has a recessed door on the ground floor and a two-light mullioned window on the first floor, complete with a stone lintel and sill. The gabled ridge beam and purlins in this part of the building have decorated ends, and there is a slender decorated bargeboard above. A 19th-century outshut is also present.

The mid-19th century addition may be linked to the architectural firm W & G Habetshon, who designed the nearby Church of St John the Evangelist around the same time. This house served as the vicarage for the church, and the gable ends display a similar free interpretation as seen in the church's design.
