Theddingworth Lodge

Theddingworth Lodge is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century. It features a timber frame with a thatched roof and renewed brick panel infill. The building is 1½ storeys tall and very long, comprising 19 bays of box frame construction. The 12 bays on the left side appear to be slightly later in date and consist of three panels high, with some arch bracing and one intermediate rail interrupted by a doorway and two recent windows. To the right, there is a tall horizontally sliding sash window with a transom, and a two-light casement window above it. Seven bays further right show the older section, which is of lesser height and sits on a higher plinth, featuring a blocked ground floor door and two eyebrow dormers with two-light horizontally sliding sashes. Some original brick panel infill remains. The roof truss visible in the gable wall is of the curved principal type. The difference in construction is also evident in the rear wall, where the older section is two panels high, while part of the right-hand and longer section is three panels high and two storeys tall, with additional eyebrow dormers above. The rear wall contains various casement windows and a centrally placed doorway. Some windows are tall horizontally sliding sashes with transoms, while others have been renewed, but all feature small panes. The building also has early 20th-century brick axial stacks that are bowed in shape.
