Great Barton Lodge

Great Barton Lodge is a house that dates from the 16th century, with additions from the 17th century and later. It has two storeys and features a long main range with various extensions at the back. The building is timber framed and rendered, with colour-washed brick at the rear and plaintiled roofs, topped with white brick copings on the gables. An internal chimney-stack has a rebuilt red brick shaft.

The windows are arranged randomly and include various 20th-century casement windows, one small casement with square leaded panes in a cast-iron frame, small-paned sash windows with flush frames on the ground floor, and replacement sashes with a single vertical bar on the garden front. All sash windows are fitted with early 19th-century folding shutters on the inside. A 19th-century wing at the rear features a large Edwardian mullion-and-transom window, while an adjacent gabled porch has a small early 19th-century Gothick window with Y-tracery.

The main house, located on the left side of the main range, appears to be a three-cell lobby-entrance type with five bays. Some plain framing and ceiling beams are exposed, including one ground floor room that has a main beam moulded and carved in a folded-leaf design with intricate leaf-stops. The right-hand side of the main range, added in the late 17th century, has been altered in the Georgian style and contains a notable early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters.
