Description

Lake Lodge is a lodge or summerhouse dating from the 18th or 19th century. It is constructed of painted brick and features a grey slate roof that is hipped to the east and south. The building has a single storey and is designed in an L-plan. The east range has two bays with a central pilaster and two casement windows that include glazing bars. There is a central panelled door, with moulded capitals and bases on the fluted pilasters, and a patera on the frieze. Above the door, there is a moulded flat canopy. The south range has a matching casement window on the return.

On the lakeside, the building features small-paned French windows with full-length side lights, and a verandah that overhangs the lake. The verandah is supported by vase on ball balusters and timber supports for the flat canopy. Lake Lodge is located at the western end of the lake and was likely used as a Fishing Lodge. Although it has been altered, it is part of a group of lakeside listings.

Local climate

Lake Lodge sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 60% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
