Oak Lodge And Attached Yard Walls

This is an early to mid-18th century house, remodelled in the late 19th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with a stone slate gambrel roof and moulded stone stacks to the gable ends. Late 19th century freestone dressings are also present. The house originally had a 3-unit plan but now includes a rear wing, which has been converted into a separate dwelling. The front elevation is two storeys high and has a four-window range. A late 19th century gabled porch is centrally located on the right side, featuring a tall two-light window above glazed double doors, sheltered by a hood on brackets. It is flanked by three-light stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds on the first floor, above late 19th-century canted bays with hipped roofs and large three-pane windows. One canted bay has a 20th-century door on the front. To the left is a 20th-century window above a 20th-century forward extension. The left side of the building, facing the street, is plain. The rear of the house includes a late 19th-century two-storey wing, featuring two-pane sash windows. The interior has not been inspected but is known to contain chamfered beams. A roughly 3-metre-high rubble stone wall is attached to the rear left corner, extending approximately 50 metres east and sweeping down to about 2 metres high. This wall encloses the stable yard behind the house and features a freestone architrave to a blocked door near the quoin.
