Rachdale Lodge

Rachdale Lodge is a house dating from the mid 18th century, with additions and alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and features a steeply pitched plain tile roof. The roof has moulded stone coped gables on plain kneelers, a large stone ridge stack, and an external gable stone stack on the south side.

The house has two storeys plus attics and consists of three bays, with the southern bay being a 19th-century addition and a small 20th-century addition to the north. The main elevation includes a blocked 18th-century flush quoined door to the north and two 2-light flush mullion windows to the south. Further south, there is a 19th-century gabled stone porch with a glazed door and a 19th-century 3-light flush mullion window. Above, to the north, are two similar 18th-century 2-light windows. Above these are two 19th-century full gabled dormers with chamfered single light windows, and to the south is a 19th-century gabled half dormer with a 2-light flush mullion window. All the windows have 20th-century leaded lights.

Inside, the lodge features large chamfered beams and bracketed stone fireplaces in the north and central rooms, as well as small 19th-century fireplaces in the upper rooms.
