Lodge Farmhouse

Lodge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and features a three-cell cross-entry plan, with the parlour block on the right designed as a cross-wing. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. An original axial chimney made of red brick has a sawtooth shaft and a moulded base. The windows are early 19th century or 18th century casements with three lights and transoms. There is a multiple panelled door at the cross-entry, which is sheltered by a 19th century gabled canopy supported by brackets. The farmhouse showcases good complete framing for its period. Inside, the hall contains an ovolo moulded main beam with roll-moulded joists, along with altered twin chamfered doorways leading to service rooms. Several original moulded plank doors are present, and there is a lintelled fireplace in the hall. The roof structure features a two-tier side purlin design, with the lower tier butted and the upper tier clasped by reduced principals and wind-braced.
