Description
The Lodge is a lodge building dating from the 17th century, with alterations from the 18th century. It features a painted timber-framed first floor that is underbuilt with stone rubble, and has a low pitch slate roof with a projecting verge and bargeboards. At the rear, there are lateral brick projecting stone chimneys with brick shafts. The building has a plan consisting of four framed bays, with a dividing stone cross wall that indicates it was once two separate units. There is a 20th-century single-storey extension at the rear.
The exterior is two storeys high, with a front that has a four-window range of two-light casements; two of these have original leaded lights, while two have been restored. The ground floor features a 20th-century front door, a single casement with a leaded light to the left, and two-light casements with leaded lights flanking it. On the right-hand gable end, there is a 20th-century hipped two-storey bay window with multi-pane casements. The left-hand gable end has 20th-century multi-pane casements set under brick segmental arches. The rear mirrors the front with four framed bays and has two-light casements in the centre with leaded lights. To the right, there is a stone and brick stack, and to the left, a single-storey slate-roofed gabled and lean-to extension with restored and 20th-century windows and doors.
Inside, there is a single trenched purlin roof, and the internal trusses are made of reused timber, forming a low-pitch truss with a straight tie beam that is interrupted by doorway posts and a collar.
