Lodge Farmhouse With Attached Stables And Malthouse

Lodge Farmhouse, which includes attached stables and a malthouse, is an early 19th-century farmhouse that has undergone later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of red brick set on a sandstone plinth, topped with a hipped slate roof featuring red brick ridge stacks that have dentilled capping on both sides. It stands two storeys high and has a moulded stone eaves cornice at the front and left side, along with a toothed eaves cornice at the rear and right side. The front has three windows, which are glazing bar sashes with 16 panes on the ground floor, all topped with gauged heads.

The central entrance is framed by a late 19th-century gabled brick porch that has fretted bargeboards and a projecting keystone above the outer round-headed arch, which holds a 20th-century glazed door. Inside, there is an early 19th-century six-panel inner door, with the upper panels now glazed, and a semi-circular fanlight above it.

To the left of the farmhouse, the stables are connected by a vehicle bay, which has been partly rebuilt in the late 20th century and features double doors. The stables are also early 19th-century, made of roughly coursed limestone rubble with a corrugated iron roof, and consist of two levels. They include five round-headed doorways, with the leftmost being wider and having double doors, as well as a boarded door above the fourth door from the left. There are two tiers of narrow rectangular air vents on the left side.

The malthouse, which projects to the right and is also early 19th-century, is built of uncoursed limestone rubble and has a dentilled brick eaves cornice and a slate roof. It features a boarded door in the center, with segmental-headed windows on either side, the left window being formerly taller. The left gable end, which faces the road, has three doors stacked directly above one another, with the ground-level door partly infilled and a hoist above the top door.

Inside the malthouse, while no machinery remains, there are drying floors on three different levels and ladder-type staircases. The roof consists of five bays with curved principals that rise from the walls to support single purlins.
