Werneth Lodge

Werneth Lodge is a house built around 1790, although it was refronted in 1874. The building is constructed of brick with painted stone dressings, featuring slate hanging on the gables and a stone flagged roof. It has two storeys and a three-window range. The central entrance is located in a porch that sits between two full-height squared bay windows. The entrance has a shallow segmentally-arched architrave with a six-panelled door. Each bay contains paired 12-pane sash windows, with wider sashes on the first floor and a narrow 12-pane sash above the doorway. There is a moulded wood eaves band and gable end stacks. To the right, there is a later lower hipped roofed wing that is recessed, which includes an inserted window on the ground floor and a doorway beyond. Additionally, there is a single-storey early 20th-century addition to the right. At the rear, there is a small two-storeyed extension that features art-deco leaded glass in its windows.

Inside, there are considerable traces of the original decorative scheme, along with some early 20th-century reinterpretations. The entrance hall has a reeded archway leading to the stairs, and there are panelled doors throughout that may be original. The northern room contains gilded plaster wall panels, along with a plasterwork frieze and cornice. A similar frieze is found in the northern first-floor room. Other rooms have plaster panelled ceilings that are possibly from the early 20th century. The original fireplaces in the principal rooms were removed during renovations in 1991.
