Description
Elizabethan Lodge and Tudor Cottage is a house, now functioning as a pair of houses, dating from the late 16th century. The building features a timber frame, with the ground floor of the left bay constructed from red brick in Flemish bond, while the rest is made of painted brick. The first floor has exposed framing with plaster infilling and is topped with a plain tile roof. The structure consists of four timber-framed bays and stands two storeys high on a painted stone and brick plinth, displaying broadly-spaced studding and tension braces in the end bays.
The building has a projecting brick gable-end stack on a stone base to the left and a gable-end ridge stack to the right. The fenestration is irregular, featuring three small wooden casements: a two-light window in the left end bay, a four-light window in the left central bay, and a single-light window in the right bay. The ground floor windows have segmental heads. There is a boarded door with a segmental head leading to the Elizabethan Lodge at the left end of the left central bay, along with a blocked door in the right end of the right central bay. A half-glazed door leads to the Tudor Cottage at the rear of the left gable end.
An early 19th-century addition is located at the rear to the left, running parallel to the main range but projecting to the left. This addition is made of roughly-coursed stone with brick dressings, features a hipped plain tile roof, and includes one 12-pane sash window on the first floor of the gable end, along with two sash windows on the ground floor. The interior has only been partially inspected but reveals exposed framing in the Elizabethan Lodge, a chamfered bressumer at the right stack, and a clasped purlin roof with windbraces and vertical queen struts to the collars.
