Description

The Old Lodge is a former gate lodge to Little Plumstead Hall, built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and features a slate roof. The building has a single-storey octagonal plan with a lean-to on the eastern side and a modern gabled single-storey wing attached to the north. The lodge has a rendered plinth and rusticated quoins. Each of its faces includes a two-centred arched opening with rusticated quoins, which contain two-light casement windows with 'Y' tracery, except for the south face that has a boarded door. The roof is hipped, and there is a central octagonal gault brick chimney stack. The 20th-century wing is not considered to be of special interest.

Local climate

The Old Lodge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 72% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 81% 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.
