Description
Stoke Gap Lodge is a farmhouse built around 1840, constructed from limestone ashlar with hipped slate roofs and stone internal stacks. The building features a double-depth plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The central entrance has double-leaf, part-glazed doors set within a stone porch supported by unfluted Doric columns, which hold up an entablature adorned with triglyphs and a deep moulded cornice.
The windows are twelve-pane sash types with stone lintels and keyblocks. The structure includes a plinth, a storey band, and a band beneath the deep projecting eaves. At the rear, there are lower symmetrical two-story wings that have similar windows, plinths, and storey bands. Inside, the lodge boasts an open well staircase with a steeply ramped handrail and carved tread ends, a stone-flagged floor in the garden hall, and some original chimneypieces.
Stoke Gap Lodge, along with its associated farm buildings, is one of several model farms constructed for the fourth Duke of Grafton between 1839 and 1844.
