Description

White Lodge is a house that dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with an addition from the late 19th or early 20th century. It is constructed of whitewashed stone and cob, with some external plaster, and features a steeply-pitched slate roof. The original range is one room deep and has internal chimney stacks at both the east and west gable ends. At the rear, there is a stone and cob outshut with a catslide roof and a rounded corner, which was partly raised in height in the late 19th or early 20th century to create a two-storey, two-window wing under a double-span hipped roof.

The south front elevation has two storeys and two windows. The upper windows are renewed casements with glazing bars and slate sills, while the ground floor has two similar windows. There is a stone and cob enclosed porch with a slate roof and an off-centre outer door. The east gable-end elevation, which faces the road corner, features a one-light, 12-pane casement on the ground floor to the left and a tall, narrow, 6-pane casement on the upper floor. Above a projecting oven, there are four visible pigeon holes with slate sills on the upper east gable end.

Inside, the house has thick, roughly-hewn, closely-spaced ceiling beams and a cambered fireplace beam at the east end. In 1846, it was described as having formerly been "two cot houses and 3 gardens known by the name of New House of the Dyehouse Park being in the outer part of Broadways."
