Description
St. John's Well Cottage, also known as The Lodge, is a former lodge cottage to Barton Hall, dating from the early 19th century. It is a single-storey building with a hexagonal main cottage featuring a conical roof, connected to another gabled range that is positioned sideways to the street. The structure is built from random kidney flint with red brick dressings in a Tudor style, and both sections have thatched roofs.
The main cottage includes a central chimney stack and paired casement windows that have continuous hoodmoulds, with the window lights divided by two vertical bars and a central transom. One rear window retains its pintle hinges. There is a blocked original doorway with a hoodmould, while the current 20th-century entrance door is located in the linking section between the two parts of the cottage.
The adjoining building uses the same materials and features bargeboards carved in a Vitruvian scroll pattern, topped with a deep hanging finial at the apex. The upper parts of both the front and rear gables are filled with an unusual arrangement of small interwoven branches, creating a rustic effect.
