Mackney Lodge

Mackney Lodge is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with an early 18th-century addition to the left, and 20th-century alterations. It is built of a mixture of uncoursed limestone rubble and knapped flint, with areas of brick diaperwork and brick dressings. The roof is of old plain tiles, with a brick ridge stack to the right of centre. The building was likely originally a 3-unit lobby-entry plan with a cross-wing to the left. The main part of the house is two storeys high and has a three-window front. A stable door leads to a lean-to porch on the return of the cross-wing. The ground floor windows are casements, and the first floor features a four-light mullion window with leaded glass to the left of centre and a two-light casement to the right. There is 20th-century window replacement at the end of the cross-wing. The roof is half-hipped to the right and has a cross-gable to the cross-wing. The early 18th-century addition to the left is of red brick in Flemish bond, with flared headers, and an old plain-tile roof. This section is two storeys high and has a single window. It has 20th-century windows and a flat brick band between the ground and first floors. The interior has not been inspected.
