Lindridge Lodge

Lindridge Lodge is a house dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, with substantial alterations and re-cladding in the 18th century. The building is timber framed and primarily tile hung on a rendered base, with a plain tiled roof. It has an L-shaped plan, comprising the main hall house and a crosswing. The main range is two storeys high, with a basement and garret. The west-facing elevation features a half-hipped roof and a tall, moulded stack cluster in the centre to the right. To the right is a two-storey extension with a stack at the end. The windows are wooden casements, two-light on each floor. A central boarded half-door has a pitched hood supported by modillion brackets. The fenestration is deliberately asymmetrical, with a large expanse of tile hanging to the left and a basement opening at the end. Wooden casements are also present on each floor of the left return. The re-entrant elevation of the main range has wooden casements on each floor, alongside a 20th-century rib and stud door within a raking porch. A two-storey and garret rear wing is present, built on a plinth, with two-light wooden casements on each floor, and has a catslide roof that projects outwards at the rear. Inside, the framing is fully exposed, featuring small panel and mid-rail construction, with double framing to the end bay of the crosswing. The main block has a crown post roof with a central octagonal crown post, with crudely shaped base and capital, and simple squared crown posts to the crosswing. There is limited soot blackening of the roof timbers, suggesting a former smoke bay. A blocked mullioned window is located in the left return wall of the main range, and inglenook fireplaces are also present.
