Description
Lodge Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the mid-19th century. It features rubble-stone walls and a slate roof with gable ends and stone gable-copings, which include moulded kneelers. There are 20th-century brick stacks at the end gables. The building has two storeys and three windows, which are three-light iron casements with lead lights and wooden cills. The central entrance has a glazed plank door from the 20th century, and there is a 20th-century stone porch with a gabled slate roof. Attached to the south end are outbuildings made from the same materials, which are one storey high and have two two-light cast-iron casements with glazing bars and wooden cills, along with two central plank doors. Inside, there is an open fireplace at the right-hand end, featuring a cambered wooden lintel.
