Oak Lodge

Oak Lodge is a late 18th-century house with later additions, situated on Church Street in Boston Spa. The house is constructed of coursed, squared magnesian limestone with a Welsh slate roof. The roadside facade is three bays wide with two parallel rear ranges, the rearmost of which was added later. A plinth runs along the base. The right-hand side features a six-panel door with an overlight containing traceried glazing bars, set within a decorative wooden doorcase characterised by fluted jambs, an impost, and a raised keystone above a round arch, all topped with an open pediment. To the right of the door is a single-storey, canted bay window with eight, twelve, and eight-pane sashes. A blocked window is visible on the left. The first floor has a sash window with glazing bars above the front door, featuring a projecting stone sill and flat arch, a blocked window on the left, and a sixteen-pane sash in a matching opening on the right. A dentil-detailed wooden cornice runs along the eaves. The left end of the roof is hipped, while the right end gable is gabled with a truncated stack. The left return features a two-storey bow window with projecting sills and sixteen-pane sashes on both floors. A 20th-century flat-roofed addition is set on the left, adjoining a recessed rear wing, which has a round-headed stair window and an eaves cornice mirroring the front. The rear wing has a hipped roof with a ridge stack and a stack at the eaves on the right.
