Lodge Farmhouse

Lodge Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a remodel in the late 18th century and later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with red brick infill, some of which is from the 20th century, and has a slate roof. The original structure consists of three framed bays with a gabled staircase projection at a right angle to the rear on the left side. There is a larger 18th-century gabled range at a right angle to the rear on the right, which incorporates part of the original timber-framed range. A two-storey catslide outshut is located at the rear angle. The building has two storeys and an attic.

The framing consists of slightly irregular square and rectangular panels, with six panels from the cill to the wall plate, supported by long straight tension braces. The left gable end features queen posts, while the right gable end has a king strut with two raking struts extending from the tie beam. The windows are arranged in a 1:1:1 pattern, with the centre section slightly projecting and likely having been gabled in the past. The glazing-bar sashes include those in the left and centre sections with moulded surrounds, while the right section has horned 20th-century replacements. The central entrance has a six-panel door, with the bottom panels being flush, and is accompanied by a rectangular barred overlight and narrow flanking sashes. A prominent red brick stack is located to the left of centre on the original back wall, along with a narrow integral end stack in front of the ridge. There is also a red brick stack in the roof slope of the 18th-century rear range.

Inside, the left and right ground-floor rooms have boxed-in ceiling beams and moulded plaster cornices. The central hall features a 19th-century dog-leg staircase with stick balusters on an open string, and there is an oak winder staircase in the rear gabled projection on the left. Throughout the building, fragments of the timber frame are exposed.
