Description
Scrafton Lodge is a manor house dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The original work was commissioned by Thomas Litchfield. The building is constructed of rubble with stone slate roofs and has two storeys, featuring a double-depth plan and five first-floor windows on the south front. Quoins are present between the first and second, third and fourth bays, and to the right.
The central three bays are from the 17th century. On the ground floor, there is a part-glazed window set in a chamfered quoined doorway between the second and third bays, a 16-pane sash window in a late 19th-century chamfered surround in the second bay, and a canted bay in the third and fourth bays. The first floor features 18th-century two-light double-chamfered mullion windows, each with small 18-pane sashes.
To the right, there is an added bay with a part-glazed door in a late 19th-century porch that has a hipped roof, along with a matching first-floor window. The left-hand added bay contains leaved board doors in a segmental-arched carriage opening and a first-floor 16-pane sash window with a chamfered lintel. The building has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, with stacks located between the first and second, second and third, fourth and fifth bays, and at the right end.
At the rear, there is a range that extends slightly further to the left, featuring a two-storey lean-to on the left side. This area includes a board door in a segmental-arched doorway with roll moulding on the arris, assembly numbers cut into the quoins, and a recessed panel with raised characters "TL 1688" on the lintel. To the right, there is a 20th-century single-storey extension and conservatory, which are not of special interest.
