The Lodge

The Lodge is a house that dates from the early 19th century or possibly earlier. It is timber framed and has a plastered exterior, topped with handmade red plain tiles. The building has a rectangular shape and faces north, featuring a stack located behind the axis to the right of center and a full-length catslide roof at the rear. There is an extension on the right side that is in a similar style to the main house but set back from the main elevation and does not have a catslide. A 20th-century external stack is positioned at the left end, along with a 20th-century single-storey extension beyond it. The house has two storeys and a four-window range of casement windows with ogee heads, which have been partly or wholly altered in the 20th century from their early 19th-century originals. The entrance features an off-centre six-panel door with a moulded flat canopy, and all roofs are hipped. There is one similar window on the first floor of the left return. This house was formerly a lodge at the entrance to the Marks Hall estate, and the style of the windows is inspired by those of Mark Hall, which was demolished around 1948.
