Description
Great Lodge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the late 17th century, with extensions from the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is constructed of stone rubble with red brick dressings, and has brick rear wings. The roof is covered in clay plain tiles, with half-hipped ends, and includes brick axial and gable-end stacks.
The original layout comprised three rooms, with a lobby entrance. A winder staircase sits in front of the axial stack, and back-to-back fireplaces heat the parlour to the right and the hall/kitchen to the left. Beyond the hall/kitchen is an unheated service room. An 18th-century kitchen wing was added to the left, and a shorter wing with a hipped roof was built behind the hall in the early 19th century.
The northeast front has an asymmetrical facade with four windows. The windows are 2- and 3-light casements with glazing bars, and have cambered brick arches at ground floor level. A small single-light window sits above a 20th-century glazed door located to the right of the centre. Two blind elliptical arches are visible at the northwest end. The rear (southwest) elevation features a brick gable-ended wing on the right and a smaller hipped roof wing at the centre.
The parlour and hall/kitchen have chamfered axial beams with run-out stops; the hall also has exposed joists. The parlour contains a fireplace with a curved brick back and an 18th-century chimneypiece with a moulded cornice shelf, while the hall has a large brick fireplace with a chamfered timber bressumer also featuring run-out stops. A wall between the hall/kitchen and the service room on the left has been partially removed. The kitchen within the rear wing features an axial beam with a slight chamfer and run-out stops, along with a large fireplace with an unchamfered cambered timber bressumer. The first-floor chambers retain chamfered axial beams with run-out stops. The attic chambers reveal collar trusses with struts and staggered tenoned purlins. Plank doors are found throughout the property. This building has group value in relation to its surroundings.
