Description

King John's Hunting Lodge is a house that dates from the late medieval period and was recased in the 18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a Bridgwater tile roof that is half-hipped to the west. The building has one and a half storeys, with two front dormer gables that contain 2-light beaded mullion windows with dripstones. The ground floor has a door on the left with a single light next to it, and a 3-light window to the right. To the right, there is a canted half-glazed porch topped with a stone slate roof and a tall gabled window above it.

At the rear, there is a south-east wing with a stack on the west side and some exposed framing in the south gable. Various single-storey additions have been made to the building. Inside, the main part of the house was originally a cruck-framed open hall, although the lower end to the east has been demolished. The upper end may be represented by narrow rooms at the west end. There are two massive raised cruck trusses with windbracing. On the ground floor, the east wall retains one of the two pointed arched doorways from the through passage, with mortises for the other. The original south wall, now internal, features a fine 14th-century moulded pointed stone doorway that is identical to one found on No 8, and the upper part of the former hall bay window, which has now been converted into a doorway with two cusped lights. The central room contains an inserted Tudor-arched fireplace that is unusually positioned, leaving a passage behind to the south. The rear wing has later tie-beam-and-collar trusses.
