Halefield Lodge

Halefield Lodge is a house dating from the 17th and 19th centuries, constructed from squared coursed limestone with a thatched roof. It originally had a three-unit plan and is a single-storey building with an attic. The front has a four-window range, featuring two horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars on the left and two 20th-century windows on the right, all set beneath wooden lintels. There are two plank doors, also under wooden lintels, located between the window ranges, with one door leading to a 20th-century porch. The building has two eyebrow dormers, which contain horizontal sliding sash windows similar to those on the ground floor. The gable parapets are made of ashlar, and there are rebuilt stone stacks. A 19th-century lean-to extension is present at the rear. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is noted to have remains of open fireplaces. The house was likely converted into two dwellings in the 19th century by the Apethorpe Hall estate. The name Halefield comes from the deserted medieval village of Hale.
