Notton Lodge

Notton Lodge is a house dating from the mid-18th century, incorporating elements of an earlier building, with extensions added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone, rendered to the front, and has slate roofs. The west front presents a formal appearance with five windows spread across two and a half stories, following a traditional gabled design typical of the 18th century. The gables are coped, with two incorporating urn finials. Dormer windows are present, featuring thin Gothick shafting and two-light stone mullion windows. The main floors have an ashlar plinth and similar shafting to the first floor angles. Twelve-pane sashes are set within raised, moulded surrounds. Cornices are visible on four ground floor windows and on alternate upper windows. A central, ashlar, pedimented porch has a keyed oval within the pediment and a bolection-moulded doorcase, with oval lights in the side walls. A moulded and stopped inner doorcase may date to the 17th century. The front forecourt is enclosed by low, coped ashlar walls with rusticated piers and urn finials. A two-light attic window is located on the south end wall, along with paired first-floor sashes under hoodmoulds, and a 19th-century ground floor bay window.

A rear wing was rebuilt around 1825, with a bowed two-story, two-window east end. It originally intended to be rendered, featuring raised quoins, a plinth, sill bands, and an eaves band, with twelve-pane sashes in plain surrounds. The rear centre of the house was outbuilt in the early 19th century and subsequently altered. A two-story range on the rear left, possibly dating to the late 17th century, was reroofed and altered in the 19th century and has some two-light, cyma-moulded recessed mullion windows with a top dripcourse, now appearing as an eaves cornice to a low-pitched roof. The west side has 19th century windows but retains a similar cornice, and is linked to a range against the north end of the main house. This range has a two-story, three-window front of mullion-and-transom two-light windows, mostly renewed, with drip moulds over the ground floor windows. The central window has been altered to form a doorway.

The interior features a ground floor north room with fielded panelling, arched recesses flanking the fireplace, an 18th-century staircase with column newels and a ramped rail, and a five-bay roof. Regency style plasterwork is found in the rear drawing room.
