Grove Lodge

Grove Lodge is a former farmhouse, dating to the late 18th century, though it has earlier origins and was altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with flared headers, and has a Welsh slate roof, brick ridge and end stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and a three-storey, four-window front. The front features a six-panel door, located to the right of the centre, with a moulded wooden surround, flanked by pilasters with large flutes, topped with a pediment. Ground floor windows have been widened and contain 16-pane sashes. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows, and the second floor has 6-pane windows. All windows have flat-arched heads, except for those on the far left, which have segmental-arched heads on all floors. The eaves are dentilled brick. The left-hand gable has large initials WL set within flared brick headers. The right-hand elevation is of coursed limestone rubble and includes a first-floor window with a round-arched brick head containing a leaded fanlight. A two-storey wing of coursed limestone rubble is attached to the rear, on the left. The interior of a ground-floor room on the far left features a chamfered spine beam with run-out stops and an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer.
