Description

The Lodge is a detached cottage built in the mid-19th century, likely around the same time as the east front of Creech Grange. Designed in a "Tudor" style, it features stone walls and a stone slate roof with coped gables. The building has stone stacks with moulded caps and an L-shaped plan. It stands two storeys tall and has a 4-centred arched doorway. Both the ground and first floors have one 3-light mullioned window with arched lights. This cottage served as the former lodge to Creech Grange and is noted for its picturesque appearance.

Local climate

The Lodge receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 9 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
