Description
Lower Lodge is a farmhouse that has been converted into a store. It dates from the early to mid-17th century, with some alterations made in the late 19th century. The building features a pebbledashed timber frame with brick nogging, and the north-west gable end has been partly rebuilt in red brick. It has a plain tile roof and a baffle-entry plan consisting of three framed bays. The structure is two storeys high with an attic.
The south-west front has an off-centre brick ridge stack to the left, which has stepped weathering, and an external brick end stack to the right. The front has three windows; the 19th-century two-light wooden casements are present, with only two on the first floor to the right. At the time of the survey in October 1986, the ground-floor windows were boarded up. There is a boarded door located off-centre between the first and second windows from the left, which shows evidence of a former small gabled wooden porch.
On the left-hand gable end, there is evidence of a former one-storey lean-to brick addition, a first-floor two-light wooden casement, and a boarded door to the left. The right-hand gable end has a small attic wooden casement. The rear of the building features a central gable, with three first-floor 19th-century two-light wooden casements. There is a larger boarded ground-floor window to the right, and two smaller casements; the left one is a 20th-century metal window, while the right one is a 19th-century two-light wooden casement.
There is a central one-storey timber-framed lean-to at the rear, which has square panels incorporating reused timbers. This lean-to includes a boarded central window, a boarded door to the left, and an open doorway to the right (which had no door at the time of the survey). The interior was only partially inspected, but the left-hand ground-floor room features a chamfered ceiling beam, plain joists, and a chamfered wall plate.
