Granmer Lodge

Cranmer Lodge is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, featuring an older core and later extensions. It is timber-framed and has 20th-century render with large incised and moulded panels, topped with black glazed pantiles. The building has a shallow-pitched, hipped roof with wide eaves overhang and a paired mutule cornice. It is two storeys high and has a three-cell form in the main range.

An internal chimney stack has four high attached hexagonal shafts on a rectangular base with a blank recessed panel. To the left, a former end stack, now surrounded by later extensions, has a stepped base and two barrel shafts with moulded bases. There are three windows on each floor, featuring small-paned sashes in flush frames; the window on the right side of the ground floor is blank.

The small 19th-century enclosed and gabled porch is rendered and slated, with plain bargeboards and a spike finial. The entrance door has six flush panels and a rectangular fanlight with frosted and coloured glass, framed by a reeded surround. Inside, to the left of the entry, the upper room displays main cross-beams with double roll-moulding, run-off stops, and a brattished cornice with miniature crenellations.

The four bays to the right of the entry have been significantly raised; the line of the older wallplates is visible below the current upper windows. The skew arrangement of the cross-beams in the room to the right of the entry reflects the earlier arrangement of main posts, with one pair of posts featuring housings for arched braces. The rear wallplate contains a long stop-splayed scarfing joint. The ground floor room at the right end has an exposed ceiling with substantial chamfered main beams and joists, all featuring curved stops. The roof was replaced in the 19th century.
