Description
Abbots Lodge is a house that dates from the mid 16th century, with some additions made in the 20th century. It has two storeys and follows a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, with the larger cell featuring a plain tiled roof and an original or early outshut on the south side, which has a catslide roof. There is one 20th-century gabled casement dormer. An axial chimney made of red brick, dating from the 16th or 17th century, is present. The smaller cell to the right is one storey with attics and has a pantiled roof, along with 19th and 20th-century small-paned casements.
At the lobby-entrance, there is a boarded 19th-century door and an open gabled porch supported by posts, which features cusped bargeboards. Inside the larger cell, there is good close-studding and a lintelled open fireplace. In the outshut, a rare feature for this period, there is a staircase leading to a pair of original doorways that have vinescroll-carved four-centred heads. These doorways were likely relocated from another part of the house and may have served as cross-entry or service room doorways. To the west of the main structure, there is a 20th-century addition with a pantiled roof, which is not considered to be of special interest.
