Dyke Nook Lodge

Dyke Nook Lodge is a house built in 1907 by Walter Brierley, currently used as a children's home by the local council. The building features unevenly coursed sandstone with quoins and a stone slate roof that has swept eaves covering the kneelers. It has two chimneys on the ridges and one on the right gable. The house is designed in a 17th-century vernacular style, with three bays and two storeys.

The layout is asymmetrical, showcasing various forms of mullioned windows. The front door is located at the rear, within a two-storey outshut situated between two gabled wings. This door has a moulded surround and a label above it, which encloses a lintel dated "1907". Above and to the right of the door is a six-light mullion and transom stairlight, with a narrow stairlight to the left and four additional windows.

The left wing projects and continues as a screen wall with an arch, while the right wing contains a window on each floor, the upper one being a four-light window with a label. The right return wall has three windows, including one at the ground floor of a projecting chimney stack.

The principal facade facing the garden features a prominent "summer parlour" with a semi-pyramidal roof located at the junction of the second and third bays. The main windows are positioned to the left of this feature: on the ground floor, there is a large fourteen-light mullion and transom window with two king mullions and a straight moulded dripstone on consoles, alongside a six-light window with a label. On the first floor, there are two six-light windows with king mullions. A walled yard with outbuildings is located at the right end of the property.

Inside, the middle room, referred to as the "hall," has 17th-century-style panelling, with linenfold above a stone fireplace that is inscribed with "19" "HVMB" "07," and features folding doors leading to the parlour. The garden, originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll, has been largely altered, but the perimeter wall has been preserved.
