Description

North Lodge is a gate lodge dating to 1862, designed by T.H.Wyatt. It is built of polychromatic sandstone and slate, with a T-shaped plan. The lodge is one storey and attic, featuring kneelered parapet gables and stacks to the rear centre. The windows are stone mullioned, set beneath polychrome relieving arches. A small re-entrant addition is located centrally, possibly an original entrance porch, although the current entry is on the rear elevation. Like the South Lodge on Goudhurst Road, it was part of the Capel Manor complex, commissioned for the Austen family.

North Lodge receives an average of 750 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 72% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 56% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
