Description
Craven Lodge and Craven House are a pair of houses built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from deeply-coursed magnesian limestone and topped with a stone slate roof. The buildings are two storeys high, with three windows in the first floor of Craven Lodge (No 124) on the right and two windows in the first floor of Craven House (No 126) on the left, which is slightly lower and set back.
No 124 features a central six-panel door with an overlight that has crossed glazing bars, all set within a wooden doorcase that includes an architrave and a pediment supported by consoles. The flanking bays have 20-pane sash windows that are unequally hung, complete with projecting stone sills and flat arches. The two 16-pane sashes above have matching openings.
No 126, separated by a straight joint, has a similar design but with a doorway that includes an overlight with radial glazing bars. It also has 16-pane sashes on each floor and a narrower sash with glazing bars above the door. Both houses share a brick ridge stack and have brick end stacks. On the left side of No 126, there is a wing with paired 8-pane sashes on each floor and a later porch in the angle on the right. The straight joint with the adjoining property on the left is quoined but is not of special interest.
