Description
Tannington Lodge is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It features a three-cell main range that faces south, with a return front facing west created by an extension to the parlour cell. To the east, there is a service range that nearly connects corner-to-corner with the main house and extends to the north. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with a plaintiled roof. The west front showcases ashlar-lined plasterwork and a hipped roof. The service wing has red brick gable ends and a pantiled roof.
The farmhouse is two storeys tall. The south front includes two 19th-century three-light casement windows, with a smaller window positioned halfway between the floors to the right. All windows feature wooden hoodmoulds. The lobby entrance consists of a late 19th-century gabled porch with a moulded depressed four-centred arch and a six-panel raised and fielded door, where the upper two panels are glazed. The arch has a glazed head with Y-tracery.
The symmetrical three-bay west front has the centre bay set slightly forward and includes late 19th-century two-light casement windows, each with a single slender horizontal glazing bar and wooden hoodmoulds. The stuccoed porch has an embattled parapet with polygonal corner turrets that rise above, and it features a moulded depressed four-centred arch. Similar turrets once adorned the main part of this facade.
The service range contains various windows, including one that is still slatted, a boarded half-door, and a gable stack. The interior has been Victorianised, concealing nearly all of the original structure. The roof over the hall and service end of the main range has two rows of stepped butt purlins, likely dating to around 1700, and a few sooted medieval timbers have been reused. The service range features an 18th-century frame with straight primary braces and a solid-tread stair. Surrounding the property is a medieval moat.
