Sicca Lodge

Sicca Lodge is a house likely originating in the mid-15th century, with significant additions and alterations from the 16th and 17th centuries. The right-hand portion of the house is constructed with a close-studded timber frame, now rendered with plaster infill, while the left-hand portion is of coursed blue lias rubble. The roof is steeply pitched, covered with renewed tiles, with a stone slate rear pitch. The building has a 3-unit plan.

The exterior is single-storey with an attic. The front has a three-window arrangement. A large 20th-century lean-to porch with leaded lights sits to the right of the central entrance, flanking a studded door. To the left of the porch, a large raking buttress sits between a pair of recessed, chamfered-mullioned windows, of two-plus-two lights and three-plus-three lights, featuring label moulds and leaded glazing. The close-studded portion to the right of the porch has a four-light leaded casement window with a smaller light to the left. Dormers are located on the first floor; the central dormer is stone-faced with a plastered gable and a three-light window with a label mould. A smaller dormer to the left has a two-light leaded casement. The dormer on the right end is tile-hung with cheeks and a three-light leaded casement. The right return side shows close-studding on a rubble plinth, with two windows containing two-light small-paned casements with iron opening mechanisms, flanking two leaded lights. A wide verge is present.

The rear elevation features some exposed timber framing in the centre, along with a 20th-century door and varied window placements. These include a window containing fragments of stained glass and a hipped bay window with a 1:3:1-light configuration. A large, flat-roofed 20th-century addition and two raking dormers are located at the left end.

The interior was not inspected, but is recorded to contain chamfered beams and exposed joists. There are fireplaces with timber bressumers and a staircase with a decorative figure carving on the bottom newel.
