Description

Stanthorne Lodge is a house dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It is constructed of rendered brick with a 19th-century plain tile roof. The house has a baffle-entry plan and comprises two storeys and an attic.

The front of the house has four bays and a projecting plinth, with bands marking the divisions between the ground and first floors, and again between the first floor and the attic. A two-storey projecting porch is situated in the second bay from the left, featuring a round-headed arch with a keystone and cyma-moulded springers. A two-light casement window is positioned on the first floor of the porch, with a moulded 19th-century cornice above. The ground floor has cambered-headed windows of 19th-century design to the left and right returns. To the left of the front is a two-light casement window on the ground floor, repeated on the first floor above. To the right are a three-light and a two-light casement window on the ground floor, with matching arrangements above. A ridge stack is located to the right of the centre of the building. The right-hand return has scattered window openings and a two-storey wing at the right. The left return is similar.

The rear of the house features gabled projecting wings on the right and left sides, previously flanking a central, narrow courtyard which has since been roofed over to create a slightly projecting porchway. A 19th-century gabled dormer is located centrally on the first floor.

The interior of the house retains several original features. The hallway and kitchen have stop-chamfered ceiling beams; the kitchen also contains an iron and brass range. The ground and first floors both have four-panel doors. A four-flight close string staircase has moulded balusters and reveals with bead mouldings to the corners. One exposed queen-post roof truss is visible, along with angle braces and two sets of purlins and ridge and wind bracing.
