Description
Castle Lodge is a house built around 1816, constructed using some materials from The Castle, which was built in 1656 by possibly Peter Mills and demolished in 1816 by Joseph Medworth. The building features grey gault brick with stone dressings and slate roofs with side stacks. It has two storeys and attics, presenting a double pile, symmetrical facade. The facade is adorned with shaped parapets that have stone copings, a moulded stone cornice, a band between the floors, and a moulded stone plinth. The corners are accentuated with rusticated stone quoins.
There are two large ground floor sixteen-paned hung sash windows and two first floor windows, all framed with moulded stone architraves. The entrance features a reused doorcase with a rectangular fanlight, supported by two carved wooden brackets that hold a canopy with iron railings. A casement window opens onto a first floor balcony, which has panelled lower doors. The entrance door was originally six-panelled.
On the south-east elevation, there are six plastered blind windows set in moulded stone architraves, along with a medieval carved stone in the plinth. Inside, the house includes an open string staircase and other original details.
