Description

Aldwincle Lodge is a farmhouse located to the south of Wadenhoe Great Wood, dating from the mid to late 18th century with some 19th-century alterations. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone and features a graded stone slate roof with stone coped gables and moulded stone and brick end stacks. It has a central-staircase plan with wings at the rear, standing two storeys tall with an attic and a three-window range.

The lodge has a high projecting plinth and a central four-panel door that is accessed by steps, topped with an overlight beneath a stone flat arch. Above the door is a two-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion window, with a small lunette window located under the eaves. Flanking the entrance are two-storey canted five-light hollow-moulded stone mullion bay windows, with one ovolo-moulded mullion on the right side at the first floor. The roofs of these bays are leaded, and they may be either contemporary with the building or later alterations.

On the left end of the lodge, there is a blocked cellar doorway, a 19th-century first-floor window, and two attic casements. The right end features a brick lean-to and two attic casements. At the rear, there are contemporary single-storey and mid-19th-century two-storey wings, along with additional lean-to structures.

Inside, the lodge contains a mid to late 15th-century staircase with turned balusters, two-panel doors, a fitted corner cupboard, and two open fireplaces. One fireplace has a moulded shelf with cupboards on either side, while the other features a brick arch that likely dates from the early 19th century. The spine beams include one on the first floor with ogee stops that has been reused. The roof structure has trenched purlins, most of which are original.
