The Lodge

The Lodge is a house that was originally built around 1840 for the Thornhill family of Stanton Hall. It is constructed from coursed, squared gritstone with gritstone dressings, quoins, and a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is made of stone slate and features moulded stone copings with ornate ridge finials and a twin diamond set ridge stack. The building is a single storey with attics and has a T-plan layout with two bays.

The east elevation has a prominent pedimented porch that includes an ovolo moulded four-centred arched doorcase with incised spandrels. Above the door, there is a shield in an incised panel, and a small arrow slit cross window is located in the pedimented gable above. There are also two larger windows on either side of the porch.

On the north elevation, there is an advanced bay to the east featuring a canted bay window made up of three pointed, cavetto moulded lights with incised spandrels and leaded glazing. To the west, there is a 3-light window with similar pointed lights. Above this, in the pedimented eastern gable, there is a single light window with an arrow slit cross window above it. To the west, a 2-light cavetto moulded mullion window with pointed lights and incised spandrels is found in a pedimented attic dormer. All the glazing consists of diamond leaded lights.
