Description
Lodge Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a 16th-century core and an early 20th-century exterior. It has two storeys and a complex form. The building is timber-framed and encased in red brick, featuring plaintiled roofs and some mock timbering at the front. The front range has sash windows, while the rear has casements with transoms and dormers. There is a gabled open timber porch. The timber-framed core is partly located in the front range and partly in the rear, and it appears to have been reduced in size. At the southwest end of the front range, there is a large external chimney stack made of Tudor brick, which has a pointed-headed niche on its outer face. The ground-floor room associated with this stack boasts a very fine heavy timber ceiling, featuring folded-leaf carving on the sides of the main beam, along with joists that have ogee-mouldings and pyramid stops. At the back, another ground-floor room has a heavy plain ceiling with unchamfered joists and a blocked stair-trap.
