Description

Hepwood Lodge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, with early 19th-century alterations in the Gothick style. The building has been significantly modernised internally around 1970, including the addition of a new wing at the rear. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a pantiled roof, featuring black tiles on the front slope. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic and has a three-cell layout.

The facade is symmetrical, featuring a shallow-gabled entrance porch adorned with wavy bargeboards. The entrance has a three-centred arch with raised springers and a key, leading to a three-quarter glazed door that opens in two leaves. On either side of the porch are a pair of distinctive splayed Gothick pilasters, which have panelled bases, cusped ornament in the splays, and pierced cusping in the gabled caps. The left and right bays each contain French windows with narrow sidelights and moulded pediments, each supported by flat-roofed open porches on tapering wooden columns. The first floor has three 20th-century small-paned windows with hoodmoulds, with the hoodmould of the central window being supported by a pair of small pilasters.
