Digswell Lodge

Digswell Lodge is a building that was constructed in the mid-17th century by Humphrey Shalcross for his daughter. It later became a farmhouse and has recently been extended for use as a conference centre. The structure is square and has two storeys, built of red brick with a hipped tile roof featuring a central chimney stack where the square shafts are set diagonally. There is a moulded brick cornice at the first-floor level.

The main elevation has three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, all in brick surrounds that have been enlarged. The wood mullions and transoms are of recent date. A brick plinth supports the building, and there are two hipped dormer windows in the attic storey. One window on the side retains its original form with four mullion lights. The door is set in a modern brick surround. The central chimney stack, which has been recently restored, includes a brick oven. Inside, the building retains timber framing and features an original plain stone fireplace.
