Stone Hall And The Lodge

Stone Hall and The Lodge is a house that has been converted into offices. The building features an early 19th century front on an earlier structure. It has a lined render exterior, likely over brick, and an old plain-tile roof that is gambrelled at the rear. There are brick end stacks and a ridge stack located to the right of the center. The main façade consists of three storeys with a three-window range on the left and a two-storey, single-window range of the same height on the right.

The entrance includes a four-panel door with a decorative fanlight and a square porch supported by Doric columns, which features a triglyph frieze at the center of the left range. Pilaster strips with incised decoration are present at the ends of the ranges. The windows are 12-pane unhorned sashes with rendered architrave surrounds, except for the second floor of the left range, which has 9-pane unhorned sashes. A moulded cornice and a plain parapet are located at the eaves.

The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. There is an attached wing to the left, which is now used as offices and is probably from the late 18th century. This wing is constructed of flint with brick dressings at the plinth and coursed squared limestone with brick dressings. It has an old plain-tile roof and a brick end stack on the left. This section is a single storey with an attic and features a two-window range. The entrance includes a four-panel door with a segmental brick head to the left, and the windows are 9-pane horned sashes with segmental brick heads on the center and right. There is also a flat-roofed dormer with a 6-pane horned sash on the right. The house was likely refronted by Mayor Thomas Greenwood around 1820.
