Description
West Lodge is a house, now divided into two houses, dating from the 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed and encased in painted stucco, topped with a slate roof. No. 47 has a rectangular plan consisting of two framed bays and features a 20th-century extension at the rear. The building is two storeys high, with a chimney near the ridge to the right of the centre.
The road front displays a string course at first floor level and a moulded cornice. A parapet with stone coping rises to a pediment above the entrance, which has an arched panel in the tympanum. To the right, there is a wide early 20th-century angular bay with a small bracketed cornice. The remaining front consists of four bays, featuring a six-panel entrance door, with the top panels glazed, set within an architrave of Doric pilasters and an entablature with a cornice hood supported by long thin cut scroll brackets. There is an additional entrance door on the left side leading to No. 47, which has panelled pilasters and a flat moulded hood on carved brackets. The door on the left is approached by seven brick steps, while the door on the right is accessed by six stone steps.
Inside, No. 47 has principal beams that are chamfered with stops. An interior inspection of No. 45 was not permitted at the time of the survey, but it is said to contain 17th-century panelling.
