Description

Pakenham Lodge is an early 19th-century house that features two storeys and three phases of construction. It is built from gault brick and has slate roofs. The central section represents the earliest phase and consists of three bays with end chimneys. The front displays panels of knapped flint set within rusticated brick surrounds. On the ground floor, there are two tripartite sash windows, while the upper storey has three sashes with vertical bars, all set in shallow reveals.

The house has a projecting enclosed flat-roofed porch, which includes arched window openings on the sides and a six-panel door topped with a traceried semi-circular fanlight. There is an extension on the east side, likely a separate house that was later connected to the main building, featuring a hipped roof and small-paned sashes of varying sizes with cast iron heads and deep reveals. Additionally, there is a later 19th-century extension on the west side. The house appears nearly complete on the Pakenham Tithe Map from 1840, which is held at the Record Office in Bury St Edmunds.
