The Old Lodge

The Old Lodge is a late 18th-century lodge, later enlarged in the 19th century and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of painted brick with brick dressings, and has a slate roof. Originally a large, single-bay square building, it was later extended by half a bay to the front and a bay to the rear, with the whole structure given a hipped roof. The front elevation has a half-bay added to the left. The original part features rusticated quoins and a full-height arched recessed panel with a rusticated arch incorporating larger key blocks. A large plank door is set within a rusticated architrave, flanked on each side by a small window, and a semicircular window divided into two sections is positioned above. To the left of the added bay is a two-light leaded casement window. A narrow frieze and dentilled cornice run across the facade. The roof is hipped, with a stack above the front wall at the junction between the two parts and a ridge stack on the right return ridge.
