Description

Lodge Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dated 1642 on the chimney-stack. It is two storeys high and features a timber frame that is faced in early 19th-century white brick, with the sides and rear rendered. There is an 18th-century extension along the back wall, which has its roof linked to the main roof at a shallower pitch. The roof is fully hipped and covered with black-glazed pantiles.

The internal chimney-stack has raised pilasters on the sides and a square corbelled-out head. The date 1642 is carved into two bricks on the front, indicating the house's construction date. The windows are late 19th-century sash windows, each with a single vertical bar in the lights. The ground storey features two canted bays with tented roofs, while the upper storey has two sashes set in deep reveals.

The entrance door is half-glazed and located in a small white brick porch that is flat-roofed and crenellated. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to along the north side, which is bricked on its south end to align with the front. The timbers inside are said to be covered.
