Cromwell Lodge

Cromwell Lodge is a house dating to approximately 1800, although it likely incorporates a 17th-century core. The building is constructed of red brick with tuck pointing, and has a clay and peg-tiled roof with slate sections, as well as red brick stacks. It has an L-shaped plan.

The front, east-facing elevation has four bays, arranged with a three-window pattern, and includes a doorway and stack in the third bay from the south. The roof is a gambrel half-hip. The doorway has a cornice hood with plain pilasters, an overlight featuring diagonally crossed glazing bars, and a six-panel door with bead moulding. The sash windows have glazing bars, with the ground floor windows being segment-headed.

The north elevation, facing Church Street, shows a gable end with an early 19th-century doorway, having a cornice hood, ornate frieze, a six-panel door (the upper two panels glazed, the lower four flush bead moulded), and adjacent segment-headed blind window apertures on the first floor. Also on the first floor is a flat-headed blind window. There are attic casement windows. A mid-19th-century wing extends to the west, with two bays and 20th-century windows, three of which are two-light windows with 4x3 panes, and one first-floor window with 2x3 panes.

The rear, west-facing elevation displays 19th-century windows with glazing bars (3x4 panes) on the ground and first floors of the principal range. The west wing has a 20th-century French window with an overlight (3x6 panes), a fully glazed 20th-century door with an overlight (3x6 panes), and a 19th-century segment-headed window with glazing bars (4x4 panes). Two red brick stacks rise through the roof.

To the west is a two-storey stable block of red brick with a slate roof. It features a central segment-headed archway with a hayloft door above, as well as two first-floor and one ground-floor oval statted vents. A 19th-century two-light casement window with glazing bars (4x4 panes) is also present.

The interior is largely 20th century, but the plan of the principal range suggests a 17th-century origin as a three-celled lobby-entrance house. Remaining features include a loft floor and two stalls in the stable. The adjacent carriageway at the north end of No.9 Common Hill belongs to Cromwell Lodge.
